Thakur came in to bat when Mumbai were in huge trouble at 91-6 at the fall of Ajinkya Rahane's wicket. With, just five runs ahead at that point, he had a huge task ahead of him. But he was unfazed despite huge pressure and put the opposition bowlers under the pump.

A knock to remember from Shardul Thakur
With the other star batters of Mumbai like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane, and Shivam Dube struggling in this match, Thakur gave a glimpse of his own talent and showed how it needs to be played on such a pitch.
Shardul Thakur's last Test match
Shardul Thakur last played a Test match during India's tour of South Africa in November 2023. Since then, he has been out of the team due to form and fitness issues. The allrounder didn't even find a team in the IPL 2025 auction which came as a huge shock.
Thakur has played a no. of valuable knocks for India down the order. He has made crucial contributions with both bat and ball on India's tours to England, South Africa, and Australia. His knock at Gabba in 2021 helped India win a memorable Test match in Australia.
