SHARDUL THAKUR — THE PALGHAR EXPRESS WHO ALWAYS DELIVERS WICKETS!
Shardul Thakur was born on 16 October 1991 in Palghar, Maharashtra. People call him "Palghar Express" because of the speed and energy he brings when he bowls! He is a right-arm fast bowler who can also bat really well in the lower order. His journey was not easy at all — he was once told he was too overweight to play for India. But he trained super hard, lost weight, and even got tips from the legendary Glenn McGrath! He made his IPL debut in 2015 and has now played for seven different IPL teams. His best season was IPL 2021, where he took 21 wickets for Chennai Super Kings and helped them win the title. He has taken 113 IPL wickets in total — a huge number! In 2026, he plays for Mumbai Indians. He also captained Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. Shardul's story teaches us that no critic can stop a person who truly believes in themselves!
