London: Team India is currently on a tour of England, where the five -match Test series between the two teams is going to start from June 20. However, before the start of this series, Indian all -rounder Shardul Thakur showed his rage and warned the British that he is going to show amazing performance this time.

Actually, Shardul Thakur has returned to the Indian Test team. On Sunday 15 June, he made a strong claim for selection in India’s playing XI for the first Test against England. Mumbai’s 33-year-old right-handed batsman scored an unbeaten 122 in the ongoing Intra-Squad match.

Shardul Thakur has scored the second highest run for the most successful team in the history of Ranji Trophy and sent 35 batsmen to the pavilion in nine matches. He last played red-ball cricket for India in the boxing day Test against South Africa at Newlands in Cape Town in 2023.

Shardul got a chance to return to the Test team after a spectacular performance in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy for Mumbai. However, his performance in two Tests for India A against England Lions earlier this month was more influential in bowling. In addition, he also impressed the team with bowling on the first day of the Intra-Squad match.

Shardul made his Test cricket debut against West Indies in Hyderabad on 12 October 2018 and has dismissed 31 batsmen in 11 matches played so far. He has taken five wickets once in the five -day format.

33 -year -old Shardul Thakur has so far scored a total of 331 runs in 18 innings with the help of four half -centuries. In England, he has played four Test matches for India, with 173 runs and 10 wickets. He played the last Test match against Australia between 7 and 11 June 2023 at the Oval of England, where he played an important half -century innings of 51 runs in the first innings.
