Sports Desk. There is a popular saying in sports that injury is a part of every player’s life. But, this injury sometimes proves to be a curse for one player and a blessing for another. And if the injured player is of the Indian cricket team, then due to competition many times he is not able to return to the team again.

At present, India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya is out of the team due to injury, due to which Shivam Dube has been included in the three-match T20 International series (IND vs AFG T20I) against Afghanistan that ended on Wednesday. Sereis) got a place in the Indian team and by his impressive performance with bat and ball, he has made the selectors think about the upcoming T20 World Cup (ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024). But, here we are going to talk not about international cricket but about the prestigious domestic tournament of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Ranji Trophy. Mumbai team, which has won both its initial matches, will face Kerala (Mumbai vs Kerala) in Thiruvananthapuram in the third round match from Friday, January 19.

Shardul Thakur got injured

Let us tell you that before the Mumbai-Kerala match, the problems of the most successful team of the tournament and 41-time champion Mumbai seem to be increasing. The reason behind this is said to be the ankle injury of Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Shardul is out of the team for the next two weeks due to ankle injury.

It is known that Shardul was injured during the South Africa Test Series (IND vs SA Test Series), where he played the first match in Centurion, but failed to leave his mark. Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) secretary Ajinkya Naik said that he has informed the MCA that Shardul will take two more weeks to recover. We are also waiting for official communication from the National Cricket Academy (NCA).

It is noteworthy that India’s star batsman Shreyas Iyer has already left Mumbai. Iyer has been included in the Indian team for the five-match Test series between India and England (IND vs ENG Test Series) starting from January 25. In such a situation, Mumbai has included Dubey, who played quick half-centuries in the first two matches against Afghanistan, in its team for the Ranji Trophy. Apart from being a reliable batsman in the middle order, Dubey is also a useful medium pace bowler. He had said during the T20 series against Afghanistan that he was working hard on his bowling. In such a situation, Dubey will get a chance to work on his bowling skills during the Ranji Trophy.
