Cricket

Shardul Thakur is a hard-hitting quick bowler who can swing the ball away from right-handers while hitting the pitch hard. He has become the offensive leader of Mumbai. With the new ball Dhawal Kulkarni's more metronomic manner contrasts nicely with Thakur's at-the-batsman approach. The two worked together brilliantly to give Mumbai their 41st Ranji Trophy victory in February 2016. In the championship game against Saurashtra Thakur took eight wickets and his third-day dismissal of Cheteshwar Pujara with a ball that reared up from a length to strike the bat's shoulder may have been the ball of the game.

Thakur who is from Palghar a town 87 kilometres north of Mumbai spent his formative years playing cricket while lugging his equipment onto early-morning trains. In his first season 2012–2013 Mumbai won the Ranji Trophy but he had little to do with it taking just four wickets in four games at an average of 82.

By being advised to drop weight by his Mumbai teammates Thakur returned the next year thinner and more fit taking 27 wickets at a 26.25 average. Even better Thakur finished tied for first in the Ranji Trophy bowling charts in 2014–15 with 48 wickets at 20.81. He has subsequently been selected for India A team's four-day matches against Australia A and South Africa A as a result. Later that year when representing the Board President's XI against the visiting South Africans he claimed a four-wicket haul taking out Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis among others.
