NEW DELHI: All-rounder Shardul Thakur propelled Mumbai's innings in the Ranji Trophy 2024 final against Vidarbha at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Despite Mumbai's middle-order woes, Thakur's belligerent knock stood out as a beacon of resilience.
Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Mumbai's openers, Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani, provided a solid start, stitching together a partnership worth 81 runs. However, a collapse in the middle order left Mumbai struggling at 111/6 when Thakur strode to the crease to join Shams Mulani.
