It was the Qualifier 1 of the tenth edition of the league between the Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiant at the Wankhede Stadium, and it was none other than the local quick who picked up three wickets and helped his team reach the final of the tournament. Shardul Thakur, who has been consistently among wickets for the Mumbai Ranji team, was inducted into the Indian squad for the Test tour of West Indies. Although, his big moment came in Sri Lanka when he made his ODI debut for India. While the Mumbai bowling spearhead was bought by KXIP, he only played a single game for the team. IPL 10 saw some aggressive bowling by Shardul who picked up a total of 11 wickets from the 12 games he played. Bought for INR 2.6 cr at the IPL Auction, it’ll be great to see how Thakur contributes to the CSK squad.
