Shardul Thakur: Team India currently has many great all-rounders. This team has no shortage of options. This is the reason why a great player like Shardul Thakur is forced to be out of the team. He played his last international match against South Africa last year.

However, despite being out of the Indian team, this Mumbai player continued to serve in domestic cricket. During Ranji Trophy 2024, the 32-year-old cricketer not only saved his team from defeat by scoring a century but eventually became the hero of the team's victory. Let us once again mention that innings and appreciate Shardul's feat.

When Shardul Thakur became the hero of Mumbai

Actually this incident is of 2 March 2024. The second semi-final of Ranji Trophy was being played. Under this, Tamil Nadu and Mumbai came to play against each other. If we talk about this match, then after winning the toss, the Tamil Nadu team decided to bowl first. The batting of this team, which came to bat first, was very shameful. Tamil Nadu was reduced to 146 runs in the first innings.

In response, Mumbai's batting was also not good. They lost their 7 wickets at a score of only 106. However, after this Shardul Thakur, who came to bat, changed the course of the match along with Tanush Kotian. Shardul batted in a ball-style style and scored 109 runs in 105 balls with the help of 13 fours and 4 sixes. His celebration after scoring a century was amazing.

Mumbai had registered a historic victory

After the score made by Tamil Nadu in the first innings, Mumbai finished their first innings at 378 runs. A lot of credit for this goes to Shardul Thakur. In the second innings, Tamil Nadu batsmen once again surrendered in front of Mumbai bowlers. In the second innings, the team was all out after scoring 162 runs. Mumbai won the match by an innings and 70 runs.
