Shardul Thakur may get a place in the third test, this batsman will go on the bench
Cheteshwar Pujara scored 45 off 206 balls in the second Test against England at Lord’s. Even though Pujara got a few runs off the bat, but the way he batted is being questioned. Pujara’s slow innings of 45 runs in 206 balls bore the fans a lot.
But Team India has come out in support of Cheteshwar Pujara before the third test match. Indian vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara’s criticism for his slow batting, saying he has played so much cricket that he knows what is in the best of the Indian team.
Rahane said, Shardul Thakur, who was out due to injury in the last match, is fit for this match. He will be available to be selected in the playing XI of the third Test. His selection will depend on how the team’s combination is being built. In the Lord’s Test, Shardul had to sit out due to a muscle strain. Fast bowler Ishant Sharma was included in the playing XI in his place.
Rahane further said that Team India is excited about the victory but now the focus is on the next match. The team is not thinking much about how the pitch will be in Leeds. “The players in the team are not at all worried about how the pitch is going to be in the Leeds Test. Everyone’s focus is just on doing well. Every single player wants to try his best.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
