Shardul Thakur Blasts 57-Ball 92 as Mumbai Crush Himachal by 200 Runs in Vijay Hazare Trophy
Mumbai captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bat first but soon came to regret his decision watching his team slump to 8/3 inside four overs. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal, Prithvi Shaw and no, 3 Iyer all managed two runs each before perishing before Suryakumar and Sarfaraz led a brief recovery with a 41-run partnership for the fourth wicket.

However, Sarfaraz was dismissed for 11 following which Suryakumar, who recently received a maiden call-up in the India limited-overs squad, found an able partner in Tare. Together, the pair added 99 runs before being separated.
Tare hit six fours and a six while Surya’s innings was laced with 15 fours.
However, the innings of the day belonged to no. 7 Thakur who belted six fours and as many sixes for his maiden List A fifty pushing Mumbai to a mammoth total.
