Despite not having the best of times in the ODI series against New Zealand, Shardul Thakur on Monday asserted that he will learn from his mistakes and help India win the T20 World Cup.
“Certainly I have my eyes on World Cup. The positivity that I bring into the game and the amount of confidence I have, the way I am passionate about the game will help the team to win the World Cup or at least do the job fairly,” Shardul told reporters in Mumbai.
“I will study my mistakes and consider them as learning experiences. It was only my first trip to New Zealand and as compared to the other players, I have not played as many games for India.
“Currently, I am just into that phase where I am gaining experience and going forward, I will try to produce greater contributions for the team’s cause,” he added.
The 28-year-old is certain that exhibiting a good show in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) is important and is hopeful about taking forward that momentum.
“Definitely, the IPL is important and the momentum we gain from the IPL will be crucial going forward. There is the Sri Lanka T20s coming up and we are going to Zimbabwe after IPL. Then we are playing Asia Cup going into T20 World Cup.
“So whatever momentum we gain from IPL will be important and will be crucial going ahead. We just need to carry (it) forward in the tournaments after IPL,” Shardul said.
Shardul will play for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) led
