That's cz he was and Shardul Thakur is a BOWLER and pretty ordinary one at that. Irfan Pathan was made to open and what not but when the main skill (bowling) wasn't potent enough, he was dropped, and rightly so.

[@Ashutosh-lw3cn]

I guess Shardul Thakur resembles Ajit Agarkar in many ways, be it stature, Team, and abilities. I guess it's high time to understand the importance of players like Shardul Thakur, especially in White ball formats. I believe he (Shardul) got great potential to be a great white ball bowling allrounder.

[@Ashutosh-lw3cn]

@@pulseofages India and Dhoni could have use d Irfan in a better way, however the problem with Irfan was that there were many batsmen at that time who can bowl, and secondly there were many spin bowling all-rounder (Yusuf Pathan, Yuvraj, Jadeja etc) who can do the same job as Irfan can do. And most importantly the tail at that time wasn't that weak which they are nowdays.
