'Getting a chance after seeing the quality…', 'Lord' Shardul Thakur broke his silence on being continuously ignored by the Indian team.

Shardul Thakur: Shardul Thakur scored runs against Jammu and Kashmir in the Ranji Trophy at a time when Mumbai's batting order, studded with star players, fell apart like a pack of cards. Batsmen like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, captain Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer returned to the pavilion cheaply. Shivam Dubey also could not show anything special with the bat. In this difficult time, 'Lord' Shardul proved to be the messiah for Mumbai and he played a brilliant inning of 51 runs in 57 balls.

It was Shardul's innings, on the basis of which Mumbai could somehow cross the 100-run mark. In the press conference after the end of the day's play, Shardul finally broke his silence on being continuously ignored by the Indian team. He said that considering the quality of the player, he should be given maximum chances.

Shardul broke his silence

While talking to the journalists in the press conference, Shardul said that the players in the team should be selected on the basis of quality. Shardul said, “Look I can only talk about my quality. Other people should also talk about this. If a player has quality, he should be given maximum opportunities. I like to bat in difficult conditions. Everyone can bat in easy conditions, but in tough conditions it is how you bat that matters. I look at difficult situations as challenges and always think about how to overcome this challenge.”
