#5 Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur produced an impressive display with the ball in his only ODI outing against Australia during the 2020-21 series. The medium pacer starred with the ball for India, returning with figures of 3/51, including the prized scalp of Steve Smith. His efforts helped the tourists register a consolation win in the three-match series, winning the third and final match by 13 runs.
Unfortunately, Thakur has not played an ODI since his outing against Bangladesh in the 2023 ODI World Cup. The Maharashtra-born pacer managed just two wickets in three innings at an economy rate of 6 in the ICC tournament. Mohammed Siraj has established themselves in the 50-over side, while Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Prasidh Krishna are looked at as backup options. As a result, Thakur has found himself out of contention for a place in the ODI team.
