Ready to step up in Bhuvi, Bumrah’s absence, promises Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur knows that opportunities in a settled limited overs line-up won't come easily and that's the reason he is ready to “step up” in the role of India's stop-gap third seamer in absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah. Thakur's four wicket haul was instrumental in India restricting Sri Lanka to a moderate 152 and he deservingly got the man-of-the-match award after his team's six-wicket win in the third round robin match of the Nidahas T20 Tri Series.
