The reason being that despite being a key bowler for the team, Shardul has not bowled a single over yet and is playing as a specialist batsman. It has been 16 overs already, and Shardul has not been given the ball to bowl. <strong>This has led to a lot of reactions from the fans on social media, with many questioning the decision of the KKR management.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Shardul had won the Player of the Match award the last time KKR played at Eden Gardens in IPL 2023. In that game, he had displayed an exceptional all-round performance, making 68 runs off just 29 deliveries and picking one wicket for 15 runs. So, the netizens are wondering why the team is not utilizing his bowling skills in tonight\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen if KKR will give Shardul a chance to bowl later in the game or continue to play him as a specialist batsman.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"hi\" dir=\"ltr\">Shardul Thakur ko as a pure batsmen khila rhe hai kya ye log \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ayooo (@CskCell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CskCell\/status\/1646894430098702337?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 14, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shardul Thakur hasn't bowled a single over yet.
