Shardul Thakur has contributed with the bat in brisbane and in this test match, But i would like to see Shardul Thakur deliver with the ball.
That is the expectation from me always and if they get runs at number 9, 10 or 11 that is an added bonus for me how they bowl and how penetrative they are as that is their first skillset and that’s the expectations i always have from the bowlers.

VVS Laxman on inclusion of Shardul Thakur for the 5th Test in Manchester.
It is the top 7 batsmens job to get the runs. If the 8th batmen is getting runs then the batsmen has let me down.
The four bowlers who I am going to pick are the ones who can give me wickets.
Because if you have to win a test match you have to take 20 wickets.
That is my criteria and whichever bowler gives me those wickets i will always back them.
If you want to have Shardul Thakur in the team, then probably Jadeja the all rounder may miss out , India or Virat Kohli not getting too many overs from Jadeja and Shardul Thakur can contribute with the bat as we have seen in this test match.
You have 4 quality bowlers who are the most effective bowlers to get you 20 wickets.
Shardul Thakur might well bat at number 7 or at Number 8 and that is something Virat Kohli can look into he added.
