Toss-up Between Nitish & Shardul Will Come Down To Current Bowling Form: Bharat Arun
LIVE On Sony Sports Ten: The key selection question for India ahead of their Test series opener against England at Leeds is who between Shardul Thakur or Nitish Kumar Reddy will be the preferred seam-bowling all-rounder. Bharat Arun, the former India bowling coach, believes the decision will be based on whose present bowling form is better.
In two red-ball games for India ‘A’ against England Lions in Canterbury and Northampton, Reddy scored one fifty and picked up two wickets. On the other hand, Thakur also picked up two wickets while his highest score with the bat was 34.
While Reddy is touring England for the first time, Thakur has played four Tests in the country – with his all-round contributions playing a key role in India winning the fourth Test at The Oval in 2021. “Nitish did exceptionally well for us in Australia and he's shown us what he can do. But Shardul also has done very well for us in England on the last tour around. He was very handy with the bat.”
