The second phase of the Ranji Trophy considered the most prestigious tournament in Indian domestic cricket, has begun. As per the instructions of the BCCI, the big stars of the Indian team are playing in the Ranji Trophy. But the failure of most of them has increased the concern of the BCCI before the England tour. At the same time, a cricketer has claimed a comeback in the team with his strong performance.
The match between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir started on 23 January in the Ranji Trophy. The Mumbai team is full of star batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, and Shivam Dubey, but all these 5 flopped in both innings. Despite this, if Mumbai is in a strong position in the match, then the reason for this is Shardul Thakur. Mumbai was reduced to 120 runs in the first innings, in which Shardul scored 51 runs.
At the same time, in the second innings, when Mumbai lost 7 wickets for just 101 runs, Shardul took charge of the team by scoring a century. By the end of the second day’s play, Mumbai had scored 274 runs for 7 wickets. Shardul has added 173 runs for the 8th wicket with Tanush Kotian. Shardul is unbeaten on 113 and Tanush Kotian on 58. Mumbai has got a lead of 188 runs.
Shardul Thakur was part of the Indian team in the ODI World Cup 2023 but after the end of the World Cup, he was dropped from the team. He is out of all three formats. He has a good record in Tests and ODIs in India or abroad, yet he was not given a place in the Indian team for the New Zealand and Australia series. His name also did not come in the discussion but Shardul has impressed a lot, especially with his batting against Jammu and Kashmir. His hopes of returning to Team India have increased.
Shardul Thakur has knocked strongly on the door of the Indian team for the 5 Test match series against England with his batting. His performance is such that it will be difficult for captain Rohit Sharma, coach Gautam Gambhir, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar to ignore him. India needs a batsman like Shardul in the lower order in Tests who is also capable of bowling. Let us tell you that this player has also taken 2 wickets in the first innings against Kashmir. Shardul has so far scored 331 runs in 11 Tests and taken 31 wickets.
