Shardul Thakur shines in Ranji Trophy, aiming for an India return. Stellar performances and potential county cricket experience bolster his chances for the England Test series.

Shardul Thakur's Ranji Quest for India Test Spot

Shardul Thakur eyes India test return with Ranji dominance

Shardul Thakur aims for India comeback via stellar Ranji Trophy runs and seeks county cricket experience ahead of the England Test series.

Mumbai's seasoned pacer, Shardul Thakur, remains optimistic about a future comeback to the Indian national cricket team. The 33-year-old last donned the Indian jersey during the Test series against South Africa at Centurion in December 2023. Despite contributing modest scores of 24 and 2 runs with the bat and taking a single wicket, he was omitted from the playing XI for the subsequent Test and has since been sidelined across all formats for India.
Nonetheless, Shardul's stellar form in the ongoing Ranji Trophy suggests he is far from being out of contention. Representing Mumbai, he showcased his all-around prowess with a century (119) and a fifty (51) against Jammu and Kashmir, under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane. Furthermore, in a dominant display against Meghalaya, he bagged a hat trick among his eight wickets in the match and blasted an aggressive 84 off 42 balls.
Continuing his red-hot streak, Thakur delivered a match-defining performance in the quarterfinal against Haryana at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, where he took six wickets for 58 runs, securing a vital first-innings lead for Mumbai.
Despite his absence from the national side, Thakur maintains a focus on performance rather than dwelling on setbacks. In his words, "Disappointment is natural when there&rsquo;s no place in the team. But once on the field, my focus is on the match, irrespective of whether it&rsquo;s club cricket, Ranji, IPL, or playing for India. Every game is important, and my aim is always to give my best."
Thakur's impactful performances in the 2021 Test series against England are a testament to his capability, and he aspires to replicate that success should he get another opportunity in English conditions. With India poised for a five-match Test series in England from June to August, Shardul believes he is "in contention" for a spot.
"The goal remains to secure my place in the team. International cricket is the pinnacle and the motivating factor that keeps the passion alive," Thakur affirmed.
Despite going unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction, Thakur is evaluating county cricket as an avenue to enhance his adaptability to English conditions ahead of the England tour. "If an offer comes, I would certainly consider playing county cricket. It would help acclimatize to the conditions before the Test series," he concluded.
As one of the pillars of Mumbai&rsquo;s cricketing setup, Shardul Thakur continues to push the boundaries of his game, keeping the dream of donning the national colors once more, well within reach.

Shardul Thakur was over the moon after he hit Ajith Ram for six straight down the ground and then celebrated his maiden century in FC cricket in style.

Shardul Thakur scores maiden century for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy semifinal; celebration video goes viral

Shardul Thakur was over the moon after he hit Ajith Ram for six straight down the ground and then celebrated his maiden century in FC cricket in style.

India all-rounder Shardul Thakur hit his maiden first-class hundred while playing against Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy on Sunday, 3 March.&nbsp;
After Tamil Nadu's first innings score of 146, Mumbai found themselves in trouble despite Musheer Khan&rsquo;s 55. Sai Kishore starred with the bowl, taking 6 wickets, including Ajinkya Rahane for 19. Shreyas Iyer also made his cricketing return in this match but fell for just 3 runs.
But Thakur stood resilient, building a century-run stand with the wicketkeeper-batter, Hardik Tamore to get the most successful side in the tournament back in the game. He also added 79 runs with Tanush Kotian for 9th wicket.
His knock was an aggressive one, looking to take on the bowlers regardless of how they performed as he went on to 13 boundaries and four maximums.
Shardul Thakur was over the moon after he hit Ajith Ram for six straight down the ground and then celebrated his maiden century in FC cricket in style. He was lauded by the Mumbai dressing room as he helped the team out of trouble.

With plenty of time on their hands, the home side will look to establish a bigger lead so that they can bowl out the opposition and make it to their 47th final, which is the most by any side in the history of the Ranji Trophy.

India all-rounder Shardul Thakur suffered a blow to his shoulder while batting in the nets ahead of the IND vs SA 2nd Test. 

India's Shardul Thakur injured during training ahead of second Test vs South Africa | IND vs SA 

India all-rounder Shardul Thakur suffered a blow to his shoulder while batting in the nets ahead of the IND vs SA 2nd Test.&nbsp;

India all-rounder Shardul Thakur suffered a blow to his shoulder in the nets while practicing batting on December 30.&nbsp; The injury scare comes ahead of India's second and final Test against South Africa in Cape Town that begins January 3.&nbsp; News agency PTI reported that the extent of Thakur's injury is not clear including whether it requires further scans.&nbsp; But it was revealed that the Indian was visibly in pain and couldn't bowl during the net session.&nbsp; Thakur, who was the first player to enter the throwdown nets, was hit on the left shoulder while facing throwdowns from batting coach Vikram Rathour. Following India's shocking defeat in the first Test, Thakur's spot in the Playing XI remains under question. In just 19 overs, he gave away 100 runs and was not a great show with the bat either.&nbsp;

IPL&nbsp;2021 final, CSK&nbsp;beat KKR
Chennai Super Kings were never counted amongst the favourites to win the title after a horrid 2020 season. Chennai&rsquo;s stats might not be the best but with 11 playoffs, 9 finals &amp; 4 titles in 12 tournaments, CSK is without doubt the most consistent franchise in the league&rsquo;s history. Here is how MS Dhoni conducted the CSK opera to perfection in 2021.&nbsp;
1. The Openers There are love stories and then there is Ruturaj Gaikwad &amp; Faf du Plessis. The near perfect opening pair of Chennai Super Kings made sure that the middle order was almost never exposed as they put up big totals together. Individually Gaikwad &amp; du Plessis ended up with 635 and 633 runs respectively in the season which ensured that CSK fans were never worried about the opening duties. This is also the 3rd instance in IPL history when 2 cricketers from the same side ended up scoring 600+ runs.
&nbsp;
2. Moeen Ali at number 3CSK missed a solid number 3 in 2020 and they rectified it by bringing in Moeen Ali for Rs 7 crore in the auctions. Ali proved to be exactly what the team needed and scored 357 runs this season along with a happy bonus of 6 wickets. The comfort of having the southpaw at number 3 gave the license to the openers which worked amazingly well in CSK&rsquo;s favour.
3. Lord Shardul Thakur Shardul Thakur was the knight in shining armour for Chennai Super Kings as he delivered almost every time when Dhoni handed him the ball. With an uncanny knack of picking up wickets and breaking partnerships, Shardul surprised almost all CSK fans barring his own team. Dhoni would always turn to the Palghar express for breakthroughs and the all-rounder never disappointed. Thakur ended the UAE leg with a stunning 16 wickets in 9 matches.
4. Jadeja&rsquo;s all round showChennai always had the perfect all-rounder in their ranks and it was just a matter of time for him to click. Ravinder Jadeja was one of the biggest contributor with 227 runs &amp; 13 wickets. Whether it was blasting Harshal Patel for 37 in an over to silently strangulating the opponent by drying up their run rate, Jadeja did everything perfectly for Chennai. The gun fielder in Jadeja also contributed by saving countless runs and taking 13 catches, the most in the league. &nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;
5. Dhoni&rsquo;s captaincy We will comeback stronger said MS Dhoni in 2020 after finishing 7th and the 40-year-old managed to turn things around without major changes the very next year. His batting was always questioned but no one questioned the mind of the former India captain as he conducted CSK&rsquo;s opera to perfection. Team India &amp; BCCI would be mighty pleased as this very man will be in the team dugout with his vast experience at the World T20.

Can Super Kings paint the UAE yellow?

Though Chennai Super Kings' campaign didn't start off on a 'healthy' note, the 3-time champions are determined to turn the tide

Can CSK overcome Covid-19 blues to paint UAE in yellow?

One team which always starts as the favourites&nbsp;to win the&nbsp;IPL, Chennai Super Kings, have found themselves in unfamiliar territory this season. Their 2020 campaign was hit by&nbsp;coronavirus&nbsp;which saw 13 members of their contingent, including 2 players in Deepak&nbsp;Chahar and&nbsp;Ruturaj Gaikwad,&nbsp;test positive for Covid-19 while in the UAE. This forced the entire squad to remain in extended isolation which pushed back their training schedule. Moreover, even before the start of the tournament, CSK&nbsp;suffered 2 casualties in Suresh&nbsp;Raina&nbsp;and Harbhajan Singh, who pulled out of the cash-rich league due to personal reasons. Where Bhajji's experience may have come in handy on the turning tracks in the UAE, Raina&nbsp;has been the backbone of CSK&nbsp;over the years.&nbsp;
Keeping all that aside, most Indian cricket fans eagerly await for CSK&nbsp;to take the field, as it would give them a chance to see Thala&nbsp;Dhoni&nbsp;back in action. Fresh from his international retirement, watching MSD&nbsp;play again will&nbsp;without doubt be the highlight of this season. Under him, the Super Kings have clinched 3 titles and are the only team in the competition to have a 100% record of making it to the playoffs. In the 10 editions they have played in, CSK&nbsp;has reached the final 8 times.&nbsp;
With Piyush&nbsp;Chawla, Karn&nbsp;Sharma, Ravindra&nbsp;Jadeja,&nbsp;Imran Tahir and&nbsp;Mitchell Santner&nbsp;in their ranks, CSK&nbsp;probably has the best spin bowling department in the tournament. While Deepak&nbsp;Chahar&nbsp;spent his initial days in quarantine, Dwayne Bravo and Josh Hazlewood&nbsp;are busy with CPL and national duty respectively and will join in late. England's Sam Curran who may turn out to be their x-factor this season will also arrive later. Only&nbsp;Shardul Thakur and KM Asif&nbsp;have trained with&nbsp;the squad since the first practice session.
But Daddy's army has time and again showed their ability to bounce and their fans would hope that&nbsp;CSK&nbsp;overcomes their blues and paint the&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;yellow.

An innings no one saw coming!
At 89/5 in the 12th over, and with Andre Russell back in the hut for a golden duck, KKR looked down and out!
But Lord Thakur had other plans. He came out swinging right from the word go and RCB were left speechless.
He smashed 9 fours and 3 maximums during his whirlwind knock of 68 off just 29 balls. It took the wind out of the RCB bowling attack, and propelled the Knight Riders beyond 200.
