Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were appointed as the captain and vice-captain of the Test team, respectively. Thakur will be playing under Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant for the first time in his career.
India are going through a rebuilding phase in the red-ball format after the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from Test cricket.
Thakur also told the USP of Rishabh Pant, as Pant is a funny and lively type of person. Fans have also witnessed Pant’s sense of humor in the Test matches through the stump mic.
"They both are big players and the future of India for sure. They are very different in character – Shubman is a very serious & calm, composed kind of person when it comes to the game & Rishabh is a funny and lively guy but this again is their USP in their own way."
Shardul Thakur in the absence of Kohli and Rohit
According to Shardul Thakur, the experience of Kohli and Rohit will be missed on the England tour as they will not play Test cricket anymore.
Two young players have the responsibility on their shoulders, but they have the backing of some experienced players like Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and KL Rahul.
Shardul Thakur’s comeback in Test cricket
But after some poor performances, Thakur was dropped from the side and he had not confirmed a place in the home Test matches, and in the away Test matches, Shardul’s performance was dipping down.
Thakur made a return in domestic cricket and gave consistent performances in the last season. He helped Mumbai in domestic cricket in every format, and his valiant efforts rewarded him with a call-up from the Indian selectors.
Shardul was selected in the India A squad for the England tour, and then he was also selected in the Indian team for the same England tour. India has only two fast bowlers and an all-rounder, named Shardul and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
