Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur produced a sensational bowling performance to put Mumbai in a dominant position against Haryana in the Ranji Trophy quarter-final at Kolkata’s iconic Eden Gardens. The experienced pacer turned the game on its head with a devastating six-wicket haul in the second innings, ensuring Mumbai gained complete control over the contest. His fiery spell not only dismantled ??Haryana’s batting lineup but also reinforced his reputation as a proven match-winner in domestic cricket.

Mumbai’s first innings effort and Haryana’s fightback

Batting first, Mumbai posted a competitive total of 315/10, thanks to crucial contributions from all-rounders Shams Mulani (91) and Tanush Kotian (97)?. The duo played responsible knocks to steer Mumbai to a solid position after early setbacks. However, Haryana responded strongly, showing resilience on the second day, reaching 263/4 and seemingly inching closer to taking the first-innings lead. With five wickets in hand and just 52 runs ??needed to surpass Mumbai’s total, the match appeared to be tilting in Haryana’s favour.

With relentless accuracy and movement off the pitch, Thakur ripped through Haryana’s lower middle order, triggering a dramatic collapse. From 257/4, Haryana crumbled to 301 all out, losing their last six wickets for just 44 runs – five of which were claimed by Thakur. His lethal combination of sharp bouncers, searing yorkers, and subtle seam movement left Haryana’s batters clueless.

Thakur’s standout season and future prospects for India

This exceptional performance further solidifies Thakur’s status as a key asset for Mumbai. Playing his eighth game of the season, he has now amassed 30 wickets at an impressive average of just over 22, including three four-wicket hauls. This six-for marked his maiden five-wicket haul in the ongoing Ranji Trophy campaign. In addition to his bowli??ng exploits, Thakur has been invaluable with the bat, amassing 396 runs at an average exceeding 45, including a century and three fifties.

Despite being out of the Indian Test squad since 2023, Thakur remains a dependable all-rounder. Though he was sidelined due to injuries, he has regained full fitness but was overlooked for India’s recent white-ball series against England and was not included in the Champions Trophy squad. Adding to his disappointment, he went unsold in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction. However, given his current for?m i??n the Ranji Trophy, he could still find a way back into the national setup or be picked as a replacement player in case of injuries.

Shardul Thakur delivered a breathtaking performance in the Ranji Trophy, securing a hat-trick and entering an elite list of bowlers to achieve this milestone in the tournament’s history. The incredible feat took place during Mumbai‘s match against Meghalaya in the 2024-25 season. Thakur’s lethal spell dismantled the opposition’s batting lineu??p and reinforced his reputation as a game??-changer in domestic cricket.

Hat-trick heroics of Shardul Thakur

Thakur set the tone for an outstanding bowling performance early on. His first breakthrough came when he got Nishanta Chakraborty caught by Shams Mulani on the fourth delivery of the match. In his second over, he sent Balchander Anirudh back to the pavilion by breachin?g h??is defense, dismissing him for a three-ball duck.

Building on the momentum, Thakur claimed his second consecutive wicket by removing Sumit Kumar for a golden duck, once again caught by Mulani. He completed his hat-trick in emphatic fashion by knocking over Jaskirat Singh’s stumps, ensu??ring ??a third straight batter departed without scoring.

In a display of sheer determination and skill, Mumbai’s all-rounder Shardul Thakur lit up the BKC Ground in Mumbai with a thunderous celebration after scoring a fighting century in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season. Facing Jammu & Kashmir, Shardul’s performance was nothing short of heroic, rescuing Mumbai from a precarious position and turning the match in their favor.

Mumbai’s batting collapse and Shardul Thakur’s rescue act

Shardul came to the crease with Mumbai in a spot of bother at 91/6, further reduced to 101/7 by the time he started his innings. The 33-year-old, known for his aggressive batting, showcased his mettle by smashing his second First-Class century off just 105 deliveries, including 15 boundaries. This knock was particularly significant as it was his first since his maiden First-Class ton in the previous Ranji Trophy semifinal against Tamil Nadu, where he had similarly bailed out Mumba??i from a ?collapse.

Shardul’s animated celebration after reaching the triple-figure score

The celebration that followed was as explosive as his innings. After reaching his century with a six over long-on in the 60th over of Mumbai’s second innings, Shardul raised his arms in triumph, thumped his chest, and gestured towards the Mumbai dressing room, a moment captured and shared widely across social media platforms. His celebration was a testament to the relief and joy of overcoming adversity under pressure, reflecting the spirit of a cricketer who thrives in challenging scenarios.

This performance comes at a time when Shardul has been out of the Indian Test and IPL teams, with his last appearance for India being in December 2023 against South Africa. His absence from the IPL 2025 auction had raised questions about his immed??iate cricketing future, but performances like these in domestic cricket are likely to keep him in the convers??ation for a national recall.

Mumbai’s strong position at stumps on Day 2

Mumbai, the defending champions, are now better positioned in the match, thanks to Shardul’s heroics alongside Tanush Kotian‘s resilient half-century. At stumps on Day 2, Mumbai’s score stood at 274/7, leading by 188 runs, with Shardul and Kotian unbeaten on 113 and 58, respectively.

During the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur went unsold, leaving many cricket enthusiasts and experts stunned. The 33-year-old, who had been a vital member of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2024 edition, entered the auction with a base price of INR 2 crore but failed to attract any bids. However, Thakur’s resolve remained unshaken, and he soon bounced back in emphatic style with an exceptional bowling performance in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2024.

Shardul Thakur shines with a stellar bowling performance for Mumbai

In the Group E match of SMAT 2024 between Mumbai and Services, Thakur reminded everyone of his immense skill and potential. Taking the ball in a high-pressure situation, Thakur delivered a spellbinding performance, finishing with remarkable figures of 4 wickets for just 25 runs in his four overs. His economy rate of 6.20 was impressive, especially given the competitive nature of T20 cricket. Thakur’s magical spell dismantled the Services batting lineup, as he dismissed the top four batters, putting his team on a firm path to victory. His contributions played a key role in Mumbai’s comfortable 39-run win, which has elevated their position in the Group E points table.

Additionally, Mumbai has had a solid start to their SMAT 2024 campaign, having played five matches so far. Currently sitting in 3rd place on the Group E points table, the team has had a good run, losing just one match to Kerala. Thakur has been pivotal in Mumbai’s success, consistently delivering match-winning performances with the ball. In the five matches he has played so far, Thakur has never gone wicketless. His tournament tally now stands at 11 wickets, with standout performances including a three-wicket haul against Nagaland on December 1. Such displays under?line his reliabil??ity and ability to deliver under pressure.

Future prospects: A message to IPL franchises

Despite his undeniable talent and proven abilities in domestic cricket, Thakur’s unsold status at the IPL 2025 auction raised questions among fans and cricket analysts alike. His recent performances in SMAT 2024 are likely to serve as a reminder to IPL franchises of his potential and value as an all-rounder. Thakur’s versatility, experience, and leadership qualities make him a valuable asset in any T20 setup. It is hoped that ??the IPL selectors will take note of his incredible performances and ensure that Thakur gets the recognition and opportunities?? he truly deserves in future IPL auctions.

The Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, delivered several surprises, with one of the most shocking being Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur going unsold. The all-rounder, who was part of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2024 edition, entered the auction with a ba??se price of INR 2 crore but failed t??o attract any bidders.

3 reasons why Shardul Thakur went unsold

1. Inconsistent IPL performances in recent years

Thakur’s decline in IPL form has been evident over the past few seasons. In the IPL 2024 edition, the all-rounder’s contributions fell well below expectations. Representing CSK, he managed to play only nine matches, where his bowling, once his forte, proved underwhelming. He claimed just five wickets at an average of 61.80 – significantly higher than the league standard.

As a batter, his performance was equally underwhelming. In the three innings he batted, Thakur scored only 21 runs, failing to establish himself as a reliable lower-order contributor. This consistent lack of impactful performances likely eroded the confidence?? of potential franchise buyers, leading to his omission from the IPL 2025 season.

2. Declining international appearances

A dwindling presence in international cricket further impacted Thakur’s IPL prospects. His last international appearance was a Test match against South Africa in December 2023, and his last ODI outing occurred in October 2023 against Bangladesh. Most notably, Thakur has been absen??t from India’s T20I squad since February 2022.

Given the highly specialized demands of the IPL, particularly in the fast-paced format, franchises tend to ?prioritize players who are regular contributors to T20Is. Shardul??’s prolonged absence from this arena signaled to teams that he may no longer possess the sharpness or skills required to excel in the league.

3. Injury woes and fitness concerns

Injuries have also played a significant role in Shardul’s recent struggles. A foot injury sustained in June 2024 sidelined him for a considerable period, causing him to miss crucial matches and affecting his overall fitness. Although he returned to competitive cricket in October 2024, featuring in the Irani Cup for Mumbai against the Rest of India, his performance failed to inspire confidence.

In the match, Thakur scored a total of 38 runs across two innings, while his bowling – the primary aspect of his game – was ineffective, as he failed to claim a single wicket. For IPL franchises, these fitness concerns and lackluster comeback performances likely raised red flags about his ability to handle the rigors of the tournament.

As the much-awaited Indian Premiere League 2025 mega auction approaches, franchises are gearing up to revamp their squads for a successful season. One player who is set to catch the attention of teams is Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Known for his ability to deliver with both bat and ball, Shardul’s skills as a bowling all-rounder make him a valuable asset. Teams struggling with depth and consistency in their lineup are likely to target him as a key acquisition.

Why teams should covet Shardul Thakur’s skillset

The 2024 IPL season highlighted the importance of a reliable Indian all-?rounder who can perform under pressure. Shardul’s knack for delivering breakthroughs with the ball and his potential to hit big shots in crunch moments have turned him into a sought-after player. Franchises looking to bolster their bowling attack and add batting depth see him as a game-changer. With his adaptability and experience, Thakur has all the tools to make a significant impact in IPL 2025.

3 franchises who can go after Shardul in IPL 2025 auction

1. Gujarat Titans

After dominating the 2022 and 2023 seasons, the Gujarat Titans faced a dismal campaign in 2024, finishing eighth. Their bowling unit, once a strength, faltered, with Mohit Sharma leading their wicket tally with a modest 13 wickets in 12 matches. However, Mohit hasnt been retained. Though, stalwarts like Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill have been retained but the Tit?ans lack a specialist fast-bowling all-rounder who can deliver in critical moments.

Shardul could be t??he answer to their woes. His recent form and versatility make him a prim??e candidate to strengthen Gujarat’s bowling lineup. Thakur’s ability to swing the ball and pick wickets during powerplay overs, coupled with his batting capabilities, would provide much-needed balance to the Titans as they aim for a strong comeback in 2025.

2. Punjab Kings

The Punjab Kings ended the 2024 season in ninth place, struggling with an inconsiste??nt bowling attack and a lack of firepower in the lower middle order. With their title drought continuing, the Kings need a dynamic pla??yer who can deliver with both bat and ball.

Shardul’s proven ability to perform under pressure aligns perfectly with Punjab’s requirements. His experience as a match-winner and ability to anchor innings or hit big in death overs could transform Punjab’s fortunes. Adding Shardul to their lineup would not only strengthen their bowling attack but also provide much-needed stability and depth to their batting.

3. Delhi Capitals

Shardul was part of the Delhi Capitals in the 2022 IPL season and left a mark with his all-around performances. With the Capitals eyeing a stronger showing in 2025, Thakur’s skills could once again prove invalua?ble. His ability to bowl effectively in powerplay and death overs and contribute with the bat in high-pressure situations makes him an ideal candidate for the team’s all-rounder department.

Bringing back Shardul could add a layer of reliabilit??y to Delhi’s squad, complementing their existing core. His experience, combined with his familiarity with the franchise, could make him a seamless fit for the Capitals as they look to climb the points table in IPL 2025.

Ratan Tata, the revered industrialist, philanthropist, and former Chairman of Tata Sons, passed away on Wednesday (October 9) at the age of 86. Known for his business acumen and extraordinary leadership that shaped the global success of the Tata Group, Tata was equally admired for his philanthropic contributions that transformed lives across India. Beyond business and charity, Tata had a deep and enduring love for sports, particularly cricket, a passion that saw him play a key role in supporting Indian cricket??.

A lifelong passion of Ratan Tata for the game

While Ratan Tata’s accomplishments in the world of business are well-documented, his affection for cricket and his commitment to supporting the sport is less widely known but just as significant. Tata’s love for cricket went beyond being a mere spectator. His deep understanding of the game, coupled with a desire to uplift Indian talent, led the Tata Group to support numerous cricketers at the national and international levels. Under his guidance, the conglomerate became instrumental in nurturing Indian cricketers and providing opportunities that helped shape the careers of several cricketing legends.

The Tata Group, under Ratan Tata’s leadership, has long been a supporter of Indian cricket, with various companies under its umbrella playing pivotal roles in the careers of many cricketers. This connection stretches back decades and has seen both veterans and modern-day players benefit from the conglomerate’s extensive support network. Tata’s love for cricket and his visionary leadership made sure that his companies actively contributed to Indian cricket, helping players find stable employment while focusing on their game.

The Tata Group’s profound connection with Indian cricket

Several cricketers owe part of their success to Tata Group-associated companies, particularly Air India, which played a significant role in supporting Indian cricketing talent. Legendary batter VVS Laxman, wicketkeeper-batsman Robin Uthappa, and former all-rounder Mohinder Amarnath were all associated with Air India. Similarly, former cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar also found support through the airline. These players benefited not only financially but also gained the flexibility to focus on their sporting careers while working ??for a company that understood the value of cricket.

Another Tata-linked entity, Indian Airlines, provided opportunities to some of India’s most celebrated cricketers. All-rounder Yuvraj Singh, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, and former middle-order batter Mohammad Kaif were among the notable names associated with Indian Airlines. Javagal Srinath, former fast bowler and now an ICC match referee, was also supported by this Tata-linked organization. Indian Airlines played a crucial role in providing cricketers with the financial backing and time they needed to hone their skil??ls and compete at the highest level.

A legacy of supporting Indian cricket

The legacy of Tata Group’s involvement with cricket extends to other companies within the conglomerate as well. Former wicketkeeper-batter Farokh Engineer was supported by Tata Motors, while modern-day players such as bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur found b?acking through Tata Power. Tata Group’s commitment to supporting sports has allowed cricketers like these to excel in their careers, both on and off the field, providing them with a stable founda??tion.

Ajit Agarkar, a former cricketer and now the chief selector of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was employed by Tata Steel, another arm of the Tata Group. His association with the conglomerate is a testament to Tata’s enduring commitment to Indian cricket. Additionally, former left-arm medium-fast bowler Rusi Framroze Surti was connected with the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), another Tata Group enterprise. These associations highlight how deeply rooted the Tata Gro?up has been in supporting Indian cricketer??s across generations.

Ratan Tata’s commitment to cricket was not just limited to business decisions but was part of his broader vision to support Indian sports. His passion for the game and the Tata Group’s long-standing involvement in cricket have left an indelible mark on the sport in India. From providing jobs to offering crucial financial backing, Tata’s legacy in cricket extends beyond his business empire, making a lasting contribution to the success of Indian cricket and the lives of many legendary players.

Indian pacer Shardul Thakur recently shared an in-depth account of the Indian Cricket team’s experiences during their historic win at Gabba in Brisbane, marking the final test of the India Tour of Australia 2020-2021. Thakur’s revelations shed light on the adversities faced by the team, both on and off the field.

Shardul Thakur reveals Indian team challenges 

During an interactive session, a fan asked about the emotions following the monumental victory at Gabba. Shardul responded candidly, highlighting the numerous challenges the team endured, “The way they treated us was very horrible for four or five days. There was no room service in the hotel. If you wanted to change the bedsheet, you had to walk up four or five floors to get it yourself, even when you were tired.”

Shardul also discussed the Queensland governor’s comments expressing reluctance to host the Indian team, adding pressure with negative remarks, “Going from Sydney to Brisbane, we heard the lady governor of Queensland saying that if Indians do not want to come, well, do not come. We do not want to host them, or we are not happily hosting them. There were a lot of negative things said about us that put us under pressure.”

Shardul accused Tim Paine of lying, claiming he falsely portrayed that no pressure had been applied and that they had met all demands, “I heard an interview from Tim Paine. That man was absolutely lying because he was saving himself by making up things in the media, covering up that they did not put any pressure on the Indian team and that they gave us whatever we wanted.”

Injuries and problems faced by the Indian cricket team

Shardul further elaborated that Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli had left and frequently clashed with the Cricket Board of Australia for necessary support, “Our coach, Ravi Shastri, and Virat Kohli had left. Ajinkya Rahane was leading. They both were regularly fighting with the Cricket Board of Australia to get the things we needed.”

In the end Shardul said that the tour was challenging with multiple injuries, including Navdeep Saini and Natarajan. In the final innings, Mohammed Siraj and I bowled nine overs each and ignored the Australians post-victory, “It was difficult the whole tour. Injuries kept happening. Even in the last game, Navdeep Saini got injured, Natrajan also got injured, and in the second innings, Siraj and I bowled nine overs each. For the first time ever, we didn’t even look at the Australians after winning. We said, ‘go and sit back in your dressing room.”

Despite the numerous obstacles, the Indian Cricket team emerged victorious, clinching the series 2-1. The win at Gabba, in particular, has been etched in history as a testament to the team’s resilience, determination, and indomitable spirit.
