Thakur will be an ideal replacement for Bhuvi or Bumrah for the tri series
Shardul has created rapid strides at the domestic level. The 26 year old fast bowler from Mumbai has been amongst the reserves of the Indian team since almost 2 seasons. In 3 ODIs till date, the fast bowler has scalped 5 wickets at an impressive average of 25.20.

In the recently concluded ODI series against South Africa, the Indian team management rested Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the 6th ODI and Thakur was drafted in the playing XI and he impressed one and all by picking up 4 wickets.
The team management may consider resting the two frontline seamers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah from the tri series. If that happens, the tri series will provide a perfect platform for Thakur to showcase his skills and talent at the big stage.
