The Virat Kohli-led side will next be in action on October 31 as they take on New Zealand at the Dubai International Stadium. The contest promises to be an exhilarating one for fans as both sides are expected to go out all guns blazing as they look to get off the mark in the points table.
He is someone who can bring a lot of value to the team: Virat Kohli on Shardul Thakur
Speaking at a pre-match conference ahead of India's upcoming fixture, Virat Kohli pointed out that having someone like Shardul Thakur adds value to the team. He also acknowledged that the seamer has emerged as a consistent performer for the Indian side.
However, Kohli refused to give too much away regarding the team combination for the game against the Kiwis. He added that he could not reveal much regarding their plans. Here's what he said:
"He (Thakur) is a guy who is definitely in our plans, constantly making a case for himself. He is someone who can bring a lot of value to the team. What role he plays, or where, is something that I can't talk about right now."
The Indian bowlers struggled to make an impact in their opening contest of the tournament as they failed to pick up a single wicket against Pakistan. With Hardik Pandya not bowling, they also lacked a sixth bowling option in the game.

With the flamboyant all-rounder resuming bowling in the nets, it remains to be seen if the team management decides to let him have one more go or mixes things up by replacing him with Shardul Thakur.
