Paltan, aaj khush toh bohot hoge tum!

Mumbai cha mulga, Shardul Thakur, has officially joined the #OneFamily ahead of IPL 2026. 

Remember Rohit’s shaana behaviour in front of his fellow Mumbaikar? Seems like Shardul took it seriously… 😉

Talking about his mettle, the all-rounder brings with him a truckload of experience & that trademark never-say-die attitude that perfectly matches the Blue and Gold spirit.

With 107 wickets in 105 IPL matches, he has proven time and again that he can break partnerships, spark comebacks & change games in the blink of an eye. And when he’s got the bat in hand? Breathtaking cameos ONLY. 🔥

Remember Team India’s Gabba and The Oval heroics in 2021? The incoming star was one of the protagonists in those matches, playing an all-round hand to defeat Australia and England in their own backyards!
