‘Lord Shardul’ Shardul Thakur became a father just before the big tournament.

Shardul Thakur became Father: A double occasion of happiness has come for Team India’s fast bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Before the start of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, a little guest came to Thakur’s house. He himself shared this news with fans through social media. Now the question is whether Thakur will be seen captaining the Mumbai team from the very first match.

Shardul Thakur became father for the first time

Shardul Thakur and his wife Mithali Parulkar have become parents of a son. In a social media post, Thakur wrote, “Hidden in the hearts of our parents, protected by silence, trust and eternal love. Our secret is finally out in the open. Welcome son, the dream we nurtured silently for 9 months.” Shardul and Mithali’s marriage took place on 27 February 2023. Before marriage, both of them dated each other and often shared their love on social media. Mithali supported Thakur completely during his difficult times.

Captaincy responsibility in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Currently Shardul Thakur will be seen captaining the Mumbai cricket team. He previously led Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Ranji Trophy. Although the team’s performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy was not that impressive, Mumbai performed decently in the Ranji Trophy.

Rohit Sharma will also be a part of the team under Thakur’s captaincy in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Thakur has been in good form recently and is trying to make a comeback in Team India. Under his leadership as captain, the Mumbai team will enter this tournament to show its strength.

Shardul Thakur’s statistics

Shardul has played 13 Tests, 47 ODIs and 25 T20 matches for Team India so far. On the basis of his fast bowling and all-round abilities, he has made important contributions to the team in many matches. Even in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, his strategy and experience can prove to be decisive for the Mumbai team.
