Four months after surgery, Shardul Thakur back on field

After undergoing ankle surgery in June, Shardul Thakur has made his comeback to competitive cricket. Representing Mumbai against KSCA Secretary’s XI, he was dismissed for a two-ball duck and gave away 29 runs in eight overs without claiming any wickets. This return is significant as Mumbai prepares for the Irani Cup tie from October 1-5.
