Shardul Thakur smashes eight sixes in VHT

Against Nagaland in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match at Ahmedabad, Mumbai captain Shardul Thakur blasted 73 not out in 28 balls to lift his team to 403-7.

Mumbai amassed 403-7 in a Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium after Nagaland captain Rongsen Jonathan won the toss and opted to field. It would have been the joint-highest total of this season, had Punjab not got 424-5 against Saurashtra today. Baroda had also made 403-4 against Kerala.

Opener Ayush Mhatre led the onslaught with a 117-ball 181 (the highest individual score in this edition), an innings that included 11 sixes (another season record, along with Kartik Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad) and 15 fours. Mhatre added 156 for the first wicket with opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi (56) and 94 with No.4 Siddhesh Lad (39).
