It is known that Gautam Gambhir has chosen Nitish Kumar Reddy instead of Shardul Thakur as the fast bowling all-rounder in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Gambhir’s decision to choose Nitish instead of Shardul is very strange, when he was questioned about this, he clearly said that Nitish is a perfect choice. Also, giving him a chance reflects the future. But giving preference to Nitish and ignoring Shardul is a strange decision of Gambhir.
This player was given a chance in place of Shardul Thakur
This is because Shardul Thakur played an important role in India’s victory in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2021. In his second Test, he took three wickets in the first innings. He shared a 123-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Washington Sundar. He scored 67 runs. In the second innings too, he performed lethally with the ball and took four wickets. Without star players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah, India won this Test by three wickets. Despite this, Gautam Gambhir gave Nitish a chance in place of Shardul.
Nitish Kumar Reddy’s performance in domestic cricket was decent
