    _____________________________________________________________________- 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.

  • 02, Jun 2016 the Lions Show in Saurashtra IPL Debutant Gujarat
    02, Jun 2016 The Lions show in Saurashtra IPL debutant Gujarat Lions almost scripted a fairy tale, they lost in the virtual semifinal, but they won many hearts not only in Rajkot but everywhere they played, but undoubtedly the foundation was laid at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium in Khanderi. A look at all their five matches which they played in one of the most magnificent stadium in the world… Match No 1 Lions off to a great start The home team started their campaign in Rajkot with a crushing seven-wicket win against Rising Pune Supergiants. It was billed as the match between MS Dhoni versus his boys as most of the Gujarat Lions players this year are former Dhoni’s team mates when he was leading the now disbanded Chennai Super Kings team. Batting first Supergiants looked set for a score in excess of 180, but a superb display of defensive bowling towards the end turned the contest in Lions' favour. Aaron Finch and Brendon McCullum then effectively killed the game by pillaging 62 in the Powerplay, during their chase of 164. MS Dhoni had pulled back some momentum for Supergiants by contributing to a 20-run last over in the first innings, but his bowlers threw it all away. Loose deliveries stacked up, and the Lions openers duly dispatched them. Four fours and two sixes off the seamers, RP Singh and Ishant Sharma, meant Dhoni turned to M Ashwin in the last over of the Powerplay, but Finch took the legspinner for four fours in a 19-run over.
