On the cricketing news, Shardul Thakur was recently traded in by the Mumbai Indians (MI) from the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after undergoing an unimpressive Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season for the Rishabh Pant-led side. He was also appointed as captain of the Mumbai side in the white-ball formats after senior man Ajinkya Rahane decided to step down from the responsibilities a few months ago.
Under Shardul’s captaincy, Mumbai finished third on the Super League Group A points table and failed to reach the knockout stage of the recently finished Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2025. It was not a great performance from the powerhouse of Indian domestic cricket after they topped the group A eight-team standings with six victories and just a solitary defeat from the seven encounters.
Shardul or now will turn his attention to the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) 2025/26 before shifting the focus back to red ball cricket in the second half of the Ranji Trophy. Then he will start his preparation for the IPL 2026 campaign, offering an opportunity to reignite his national ambitions.
