    Rohit Made Me Comfortable, Allowed Me To Be Free With Him And Express Myself, Says Shardul

    Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: India’s seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur said veteran opener Rohit Sharma made him feel comfortable and encouraged self-expression, something which he is now eager to experience again in the Mumbai Indians' camp for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.

    Ahead of retentions, Thakur was traded from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to the Mumbai Indians, a side where he was a support bowler in 2010. "Abhi aur pata chalega jab sath me baithenge toh. Kaafi masti hogi. He made me comfortable, he allowed me to be free with him, and he allowed me to express myself. We became comfortable with each other, and he played a major part in it”, Thakur was quoted as saying by the franchise’s website on Monday.

    Thakur, who’s played 13 Tests, 47 ODIs, and 25 T20Is for India, noted that the exposure to the MI dressing room environment in IPL 2010 instilled the professionalism in him to achieve greater things in his cricketing career.
