India vs Australia 2017: Five players who should feature in the final two ODIs if India take a 3-0 lead

#3 Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur is one for the future

A hit-the-deck bowler capable of swinging the ball at pace, Shardul Thakur made his debut for the Indian side on their tour of Sri Lanka, in the fourth ODI. He had a decent outing, picking up the wicket of the dangerous Niroshan Dickwella.

Thakur is a household name in Indian domestic circles, having established himself in the Mumbai set-up. A relatively experienced campaigner, he has picked up 56 wickets in 35 List A games. He had a sensational 'A' tour against South Africa 'A' and Afghanistan 'A', picking up 9 wickets in 4 matches, including one 4-wicket haul.

The 25-year-old could be a useful new-ball bowler for Team India, and is capable of troubling the likes of David Warner and Steve Smith at the top of the order.
