NEW DELHI: Following Mumbai’s triumph in clinching their forty second Ranji Trophy title, all-rounder Shardul Thakur is gearing up for a brand new problem as he prepares to don the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) jersey within the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

Thakur, who returns to the franchise that performed a big function in shaping his cricketing profession, spoke to ANI about his aspirations for the IPL season forward. “Dhoni sahab is there, he is one of the greatest cricketers ever in the world. I will play under him again and I have played under him before, so I will try to learn a lot of things and how he gets performance out of players,” remarked the Mumbai and India all-rounder.
