Thakur Says Limited Overs Affect Rhythm, Questions Captain's Call
Shardul Thakur, a cricket player, said that bowling less in a recent game affected how well he played.
Even though he scored some runs with the bat, the captain decided how many overs he would bowl.
Thakur mentioned that the opposing team scored a lot of runs when the sun was shining.
Another player, R Ashwin, wondered why Thakur wasn't used more, and thought a different player might have been a better choice.
Shardul Thakur said limited overs affect his bowling rhythm in the Old Trafford Test.
Thakur scored 41 runs in India's first innings but bowled only five overs on Day 2.
Thakur stated the captain decides how much he bowls.
England scored at a good rate when the sun was out, according to Thakur.
R Ashwin questioned the limited use of Thakur, suggesting Kuldeep Yadav could have been included.
