"I’m Ready to Deliver for India!" - Shardul Thakur on England, Versatili... youtu.be/J8L53-Q3iQA?si=-Lqp… via @YouTube

Exclusive 🚨 "The initial two days were tough" — #ShardulThakur on not getting selected for #BGT2024. The allrounder spoke on how he held his morale up, his performance in the #RanjiTrophy, and how he feels confident about getting a chance and performing in the England tour and more. @RevSportzGlobal @imShard @BCCI @ThumsUpOfficial

.#ShardulThakur “My dream has always been to play for India consistently. I am thankful to God that I have already had so many opportunities to be with the team, play so many games, and make winning contributions. But now, for the last year, I have not been in that dressing room, and hence, once again, I am dreaming of playing for India. The Ranji Trophy is going on, and this upcoming England tour is the motivation I need to be there. My only focus has always been that wherever I play, I somehow have to make match-winning contributions with the bat or ball.” @imShard

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Out of India contention for over a year, Shardul Thakur uses the Ranji Trophy to showcase his all-round skills. The fans' ‘Lord’ eyes another England tour after winning with Mumbai. @imShard #ShardulThakur ✍️ @BoriaMajumdar revsportz.in/a-revsportz-exc…

First leg of the Ranji trophy has concluded. Feeling great to have played 5 back to back games post surgery and also an Irani cup game. Thanks to @BCCI and @MumbaiCricAssoc for always looking out for me

Couldn’t believe we achieved to win back the prestigious Irani Cup🏆 after a long gap of 27 years. Kudos to all the players, coaches, support staff and the management of @MumbaiCricAssoc

Voting Done ✅ #loksabhaelections2024 🇮🇳

Huge congratulations to Mumbai for clinching the Ranji Trophy 2024, securing their 42nd title! Captain @ajinkyarahane88's leadership, #MusheerKhan's stellar batting, @imShard's all-round brilliance, #ShamsMulani's quality left-arm spin, and #BhupenLalwani's consistency with the bat made it a phenomenal red-ball season. Kudos to runners-up Vidarbha for playing excellent cricket throughout the season! @BCCIDomestic || @MumbaiCricAssoc || @vca_tweets

Appreciate all the lovely wishes I received yesterday on my birthday 🙏🏼 Thanks to all ❤️

🇮🇳 Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Indians, may our Tricolour always fly high . Jai Hind 🇮🇳
