Shardol Thakur vs Nitish Reddy first engineer vs. Ind 2025 Test Leeds?
Thackeray’s performance in the intra -squad match will lead to a dispute for a place in XI of the Indian Games in the first Test in Leeds. Before scoring a hundred goals in the beacon hem, he also took four wickets at his middle pace. The 33 -year -old child can be locked in a dispute with a fellow all -rounder Nitish Reddy for a slot.
Thakur was not picked up in the Indian team for a five -match border in Australia. Reddy played five Tests in Australia and was one of India’s permanent batsmen. He crossed 40 of his first four innings and then criticized one hundred in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. He failed to have a lot of impact with the ball, however, claims only five wickets.
Thakur was withdrawn to the Test team for the upcoming series against England after his excellent performance in domestic cricket. He has played 11 Tests for India so far, in which he has taken an average of 28.38 wickets for 31, with one five wickets and one four wickets. The 33 -year -old is also a low -order batter and has started four half centuries in Test cricket.
