Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy: India seamer Shardul Thakur claimed a hat-trick for Mumbai against Meghalaya in a must-win Ranji Trophy match here at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy on Thursday.

Opening the bowling for Mumbai after the side chose to bowl first against Meghalaya, Thakur dismissed Anirudh B, Sumit Kumar, and Jaskirat in the third over before dismissing Nishant Chakraborty on the fourth ball of the innings.
