In his two games, he only took one wicket, and his economy rate was higher than average. It will be interesting to watch how he performs in the following matches, but from the start, I wanted Mohammad Shami to be in the lineup because that would give us three reliable fast bowling options. Shardul is considered an all-rounder by the management, but Shami is my option because Hardik Pandya is already an all-rounder with a quick bowl. Bangladesh is a formidable squad that has the potential to surprise any team at any time, but squad India is more stronger and appears to be in fantastic form. In Pune, they will thrash Bangladesh with ease.
Athar Ali, Star Sports Bangla Cricket Expert for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, commented on the performances of Shreyas Iyer and Shardul Thakur, saying that “Shreyas Iyer has performed really well in this World Cup.” While chasing Pakistan in the biggest game, he struggled at first but then found his footing with 25 runs against Afghanistan and an unbeaten 53 off 62 balls. Shardul Thakur bowled six overs and took a wicket in the second game against Afghanistan; he was unable to participate against Australia. He only bowled two overs during the Pakistan game and gave up 12 runs without getting any runs back. I’ll undoubtedly keep Shreyas Iyer in front.
It’s true that Shreyas Iyer and Shardul Thakur both play for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, but they are Mumbai teammates too in domestic competitions, according to Manoj Tiwari, Star Sports Bangla’s cricket analyst for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. We are all aware that the team management has chosen Shreyas to play at position four, and he performed admirably in the most recent match. Shreyas made a century in the Australia series just before the World Cup and appears to be in terrific form, therefore he will remain in the starting XI and I am confident in his ability to perform well. Shardul hasn’t yet delivered a performance that meets management’s standards.
Athar Ali, Star Sports Bangla Cricket Expert for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, was asked which batsman—Shami or Shardul—should start for India vs. Bangladesh. He responded, “I feel Mohammad Shami should play against Bangladesh because of his experience of participating in 94 ODIs. Although Shami has 171 strikes to his credit, Shardul Thakur is an excellent bowler who has taken 64 wickets in 46 games. Shami’s line and length accuracy, speed, and ball-swinging prowess are all well known. His economy is below a 6, while Shardul’s is a 6 or higher. Shami should play against Bangladesh because of this.
Manoj Tiwari, Star Sports Bangla Cricket Expert for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, was asked which player—Shami or Shardul—should start for India vs. Bangladesh. He responded, “I will always prefer Mohammad Shami because I feel two fast bowling all-rounders aren’t required in the XI. The team’s management may be taking Shardul’s hitting prowess into account. Although he has performed well in tests, he hasn’t been able to consistently match that performance in the shorter format.
The think tank must be preparing for a scenario in which Shardul’s batting might be more useful than Mohammad Shami and 30 runs must be scored off 15 balls. That shouldn’t be the strategy, though, since India’s batting order is strong, and Shardul won’t be able to do much with the bat down the order if they can’t perform. He ought to play against Bangladesh as a result.
I’ve always believed that wickets can stem the flow of runs, and between the two, Mohammad Shami appears to be bowling with excellent rhythm.
Athar Ali, the Star Sports Bangla Cricket Expert for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, commented on the rivalry between India and Bangladesh, saying, “Bangladesh vs India rivalry is quite significant, and this has been collecting steam for a number of many years, the results are a testament to the fact. Bangladesh may be able to produce a result like the one they did in the Asia Cup if they can play effectively against India in all three areas: bowling, batting, and fielding.
Bangladesh defeated India by 6 runs in the final game of the Asia Cup, which India had previously qualified for. Prior to then, there was a bilateral series of two tests and three one-day internationals, in which Bangladesh performed remarkably well to win the ODI series 2-1. I’ve already discussed the rivalry, and in my opinion, Bangladesh will benefit greatly from this match. The platform will be set for them to accomplish something incredible throughout this World Cup if they can perform well here.
Manoj Tiwari, a Star Sports Bangla cricket expert for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, commented on the rivalry between India and Bangladesh by saying, “This match is very vital for Bangladesh to remain alive in the competition.” From this point on, they have to keep winning. India, on the other hand, will enter the game with the intention of winning, and I think they will do it with ease. With a win in this match, India would be able to overtake its rivals, making it a crucial match for both sides.
