Shardul Thakur Shines with Unbeaten Century

Shardul Thakur's unbeaten century rescues Mumbai in Ranji Trophy match, boosting team's chances of qualifying for knockouts and showcasing his skill and determination as a batsman.

Updated :

In a remarkable display of batting prowess, Mumbai's Shardul Thakur scored an unbeaten century in the Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, rescuing his team from a precarious position and keeping their hopes alive in the contest.

Thakur's knock of 113, which included 17 fours, was a testament to his skill and determination. His unbeaten partnership of 173 runs with Tanush Kotian put pressure on the visitors and helped Mumbai gain a significant lead. Jammu and Kashmir skipper Paras Dogra praised Thakur's innings, calling it one of the best he has seen in domestic cricket.

Thakur's achievement is all the more impressive considering his recent struggles with a foot surgery that kept him out of the game for much of 2024, and being unsold at the IPL 2025 auction. However, he has shown remarkable consistency in his batting, with four half-centuries, including the current knock. His ability to perform under pressure has been demonstrated once again, as he hit 75 off 69 in a semi-final last season.

Thakur's century has not only boosted Mumbai's chances of qualifying for the knockouts but has also silenced his critics. His satisfaction at proving his quality was evident in his celebration, and he stated that tough situations bring out his strengths. With Mumbai now holding a 188-run lead, Thakur remaining unbeaten, and Kotian on 58*, the team's prospects look promising.

As the match continues, all eyes will be on Thakur and his team to see if they can capitalize on their current position and secure a win. One thing is certain, however - Shardul Thakur has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of cricket.
