Indian Cricket Fans Are Trolling Shardul Thakur ‘Left, Right And Centre’: After successfully defeating the New Zealand cricket team, the ‘Men in Blue’ are looking forward to emerging victorious in the ongoing second of five T20I match series in Eden Park, New Zealand.
Before the match started the skipper of New Zealand cricket team, Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to bat first. The Indian bowlers are looking great in form as they are giving a hard time to the New Zealanders. However, Shardul Thakur who was preferred over Navdeep Saini has been struggling to save runs.
Shardul Thakur who has proven his worth as a handy batter down the order has been struggling to prove his worth on the basis of his primary job. In his last match, he had conceded 14 runs per over (3-0-44-0).
In the ongoing match, Shardul is getting smashed by the New Zealanders to all the corners of the ground. Though he gave the first breakthrough to the Men in Blue by dismissing Martin Guptill, but he went on to conceded many runs to New Zealand batsmen.
From Martin Guptill smashing some big shots to Colin Monro recreating MS Dhoni’s ‘fizurr’ moment, Shardul Thakur has become the victim this time.
Shardul Thakur has found himself at the receiving end of criticism. He is getting trolled for his performance left, right and center by Twitterati. From slamming Virat Kohli’s decision to choose him over Navdeep Saini to comparing his form with Jasprit Bumrah, Twitterati are leaving no stones unturned to troll Shardul Thakur.
Here, check out some of the best ‘troll’ tweets on Shardul Thakur:
Kane Williamson with a very, very brave call to bat first.
Then again, nothing to hold candle to the bravery of Virat Kohli, who continues to play Shardul Thakur.#INDvNZ #NZvIND

Would be a really poor call from the team management if they’ve again picked Shardul Thakur over Navdeep Saini just because he can pinch hit well. He’s not as good as Saini but still makes to to XI just because we love our bowlers who swings pretty hard!

Is Shardul Thakur really a better option than Navdeep Saini?
*Just because someone might score more runs at no.8 or 9 doesn’t mean they should be picked ahead of someone else as a bowler.#NZvIND #INDvNZ #NZvsIND
