India Player Shardul Thakur wreaks havoc on Meghalaya with hat-trick

Shardul Thakur has made headlines in Mumbai’s final Ranji Trophy group stage match against Meghalaya by claiming a sensational hat-trick, leading to a dramatic batting collapse for the visitors. Thakur’s remarkable performance began in the very first over when he dismissed opener Nishanta Chakraborty. He then struck again in the third over, taking three wickets in consecutive deliveries—Anirudh B, Sumit Kumar, and Jaskirat—reducing Meghalaya to a precarious 2/5.




This hat-trick marks Thakur as the fifth Mumbai player to achieve this feat in Ranji Trophy history. His impressive bowling figures of 4 overs, 14 runs, and 5 wickets not only showcased his skill but also highlighted his potential for a BCCI Central Contract after being overlooked in 2024. So far this season, he has claimed 17 wickets across seven matches.

Mumbai opted to field first after winning the toss, aiming for a decisive victory to secure their place in the knockout stage following an upset loss to Jammu & Kashmir in their previous match. With key players like Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal absent, Thakur’s performance is crucial for Mumbai’s aspirations in the tournament.

Australian Star Statement on the Finals of the ODI World Cup 2023

Image
The batman of the Australian cricket team, Marnus Labuschagne, said he had “never seen” someone bowl like the way Pat Cummins did during the finals of the World Cup against India, which they won by six wickets for a record-extending sixth title. Cummins had the best economy rate in the 10 overs he had bowled and also grabbed two wickets to restrict Rohit Sharma’s side to 240. With an economy rate of 3.40 to go with the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, Cummins put the skids on India. Labuschagne said, “I think that was certainly Pat’s best day with the ball.” Labuschagne, who scored an unbeaten half-century in the final, said, “I think I’ve never seen someone bowl the sequence Cummins did, bowling the right balls at the right time that he did. I haven’t seen that from a middle-overs bowler or a pace bowler, especially in a long time. A lot of credit has to go to him.” Labuschagne also praised the tactical acumen of coach Andrew McDonald, saying he and the team analyst prepared t...
