Hardik’s next 2 matches doubtful, who will play Ashwin or Shardul?

New Delhi. All-rounder Hardik Pandya’s injury has become a problem for the Indian team, which is going through a golden period of victory. Hardik was injured while bowling in the match against Bangladesh on Thursday. Earlier reports said that Hardik will not be able to play in the match against England on Sunday due to injury, but according to a report in Indian Express, he will not be able to play in 2017 except in England. The match against Sri Lanka is scheduled to be held in Mumbai on November 2. Hardik may have to sit out and will be a part of Team India’s playing XI only for the match against South Africa and then the Netherlands in the group stage. The Indian team is scheduled to play its next match at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday.

Hardik’s injury has raised questions about Team India’s balance and playing combination. As an all-rounder, Hardik provides balance to the team both in batting and bowling. In such a situation, it will not be easy for captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid to select the ideal playing eleven.

The dilemma against Team India is whether to field Shardul Thakur and R Ashwin in the playing XI, who are capable of batting as well as bowling. Although the final decision on this will be taken before Sunday’s match, Ashwin (R. Ashwin) seems to have more chances to play than Bhagwan Thakur (Shardul Thakur) as of now. This is believed to be because the wickets of both Lucknow and Mumbai are more suitable for spin and the presence of left-handed batsmen in both teams.

Ashwin can be deadly for left-handed batsmen with his off spin and variety. However, instead of Shardul’s medium pace bowling, it is considered a better option for the team to ‘test’ England’s batsmen with Ashwin’s spin.

After taking 5 wickets against New Zealand, it is certain that Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami will be the leading bowlers of Team India. Shami (Mohammed Shami) has grabbed the opportunities he got with both hands and is now hard to ignore. In such a situation, there is a possibility that Ashwin will be given a chance to play in place of Suryakumar Yadav in the match against England. Ashwin would be a better option in England’s middle order against quality batsmen like David Malan and Ben Stokes.

Apart from this, Ashwin is able to perform well against right-handed batsmen with his experience. However, England, who are currently 9th in the points table with just one win from their four matches, now need to win all their next matches, in which case Ashwin will be preferred in the playing XI over Shardul. Considered a better decision.

This strengthens Ashwin’s claim to outperform Shardul in World Cup 2023. Shardul has taken just two wickets in three matches of this tournament at an average of 51.00 and his economy has also been 6.00 during this period. On the other hand, Ashwin has so far played one match and has taken one wicket with 34 runs and his economy is 3.4. After evaluating the performance in the match against England, a decision can be taken about the playing eleven for the match against Sri Lanka.
