Shardul Will Give MI A Different Structure With His Versatility & Experience: Jayawardene
Lucknow Super Giants: Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene said seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur’s addition will lend the side a different structure in IPL 2026, citing his versatility and experience as key assets.
Thakur, who’s played 13 Tests, 47 ODIs and 25 T20Is for India, was traded to MI from Lucknow Super Giants, a side where he was a support bowler in 2010. In 105 IPL games, Thakur has taken 107 wickets, with a highest score of 68 as a batter.
Thakur captains Mumbai in the domestic cricket circuit and also honed his cricketing skills in the city after coming from Palghar. Apart from him, MI also traded in Sherfane Rutherford and Mayank Markande.
