    _____________________________________________________________________- 25 th February, 2015 Ranji Trophy: Mumbai's Shardul Thakur aims to top bowling charts Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur, who is just four wickets away from topping the bowling charts for the Ranji Trophy season, believes today's semi-final clash against Karnataka is the perfect opportunity to fulfill his dream Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur had a couple of goals when he started the domestic season. First was to iron out the inconsistency factor and the second was to top the bowling charts in Ranji Trophy. Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur The 23-year-old knew if he can be consistent, the wickets would follow. It certainly did. After six five-wicket hauls in nine matches, Thakur is now staring at fulfilling his second goal of the season — that is to be the highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy this season. At the moment D Siva Kumar tops the wicket-takers list with 44 under his belt. But with Andhra failing to make the semis, Thakur (40 wickets) is the favourite to take the top spot. Maharashtra's Samad Fallah (37 wickets) and Karnataka's S Aravind (35 wickets) are the only potential contenders challenging Thakur. Thakur is eyeing today's semi-final clash against Karnataka in Bangalore as an ideal platform to claim the No 1 spot. "After our quarter-final victory (where Thakur claimed eight wickets in the match against Delhi), one of my teammates told me that I am now just four wickets away from becoming the highest wicket-taker of the season. "It was one of my goals to be the top bowler and I am really excited to accomplish that goal in this match.

    _________ _____________ ______ -4th January, 2015 Shardul Thakur: The next big product of Mumbai cricket Shardul Thakur has already taken 23 wickets in the ongoing Ranji Trophy At 5’9”, Shardul Thakur may not be your typical fast bowler. But give him a ball in hand and he can be more threatening than any other pacer. In the absence of an injured Zaheer Khan and Dhawal Kulkarni (on national duty), the 23-year-old Thakur has played the role of Mumbai ‘s leading bowler with aplomb. Such has been his impact that he is currently the leading wicket-taker this season, with 23 wickets in four Ranji Trophy games. He has three five-wicket hauls to his credit, including a match-winning six for 53 against Uttar Pradesh. He finished with a career-best nine for 123 in that match. For a bowler who was criticised for being overweight — 83kg — and erratic in his debut season two years back, Thakur has come a long way to being the best bowler of the side. “Yes, sometimes I wish I was taller, with a typical fast bowlers’ physique, but it doesn’t matter. I am doing justice to the role considering that we don’t have Dhawal and Zaheer. It is a challenge and I am relishing it,” Thakur says. It was a lot of hardwork with Mumbai bowling coach Omkar Salvi in the off season that has finally bore fruit for Thakur. “We are going very good as a team at the moment because of the way we worked hard in the off season.

  • India Trade Pitch a Big Ask
    Article published in the Australian on 22nd January 2021. India trade pitch a big ask GLENDAKORPORAAL Follow @GlendaKorporaal Indian paceman Shardul Thakur celebrates his wicket of Australia's batsman Marcus Harris with teammates on day one of the fourth cricket Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane. Picture: AFP Indian paceman Shardul Thakur celebrates his wicket of Australia's batsman Marcus Harris with teammates on day one of the fourth cricket Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane. Picture: AFP The dejected faces of the defeated Australian cricket team at the Gabba on Tuesday are a stark reminder of the reality of doing business with a much more confident, modern-day India. India, which fielded a B team (as a result of injuries and the absence of captain Virat Kohli) to defeat Australia in the Test series, is a country that plays to its own rules and defies attempts by outsiders to pigeonhole it. While Australia is in constant danger of looking back to past glories (and congratulating itself on how well it has survived the pandemic), the countries of Asia continue to expand, grow and set their own rules. In India’s case, the experience of players in the lucrative but demanding Indian Premier League, with a turnover of well over $5bn, has battle-hardened its players like never before, proving over the past week that they can all too easily slough off low-rent sledging and racist comments from the stands in Australia. The future for Australia is in continued interaction and trade with Asia, but in a way that sheds past colonialism and recognises the opportunities and challenges of countries that are inevitably different to our own.
