Srinagar: Former India pacer Doda Ganesh has slammed selection of Shardul Thakur in India’s World Cup 2023 squad.
Former India cricketer, Doda took to social media to say that on the basis on just bowling, Shardul would not even make the cut for Karnataka’s playing XI in domestic cricket.
“With due respect to Shardul Thakur, on his bowling alone he would struggle to make it to Karnataka’s playing Xl in any format, let alone India’s,” he posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Shardul did not play the first game of the Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia but he replaced Ravichandran Ashwin for the second game and has played every match ever since.
Virat Kohli’s unbeaten century sealed India’s fourth win from four World Cup matches as the hosts defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets on Thursday with the star batsman closing in on Sachin Tendulkar’s record for ODI hundreds.
