He is not part of the series playing against England. At present, Shardul does not seem to fit into the eleven in any format in the management’s planning. But the good thing is that BCCI retained him in the C category (1 crore annually) of the recently announced contract. And this is also an aspect that fighter Shardul is in no mood to accept defeat. When the batsmen could not hold on for the second day in the ongoing Ranji Trophy Semi-final between Mumbai and Tamil Nadu, Thakur showed his strength with the bat at number nine and scored a century (109).

In fact, in response to Tamil Nadu’s 146 runs in the first innings, Mumbai had at one time lost 7 wickets for 106 runs in its first innings. And it seemed that from here onwards the second biggest factor after outright win – first innings lead – could go in favor of Tamil Nadu to make the final, but Shardul played like a lion and with his century, Mumbai won the day. At the end of the game, they scored 301 runs for 9 wickets and took a very important lead of 155 runs.
