Mittali Parulkar, the wife of Indian cricketer Shardul Thakur, took to social media on Wednesday, October 16, to share a video wishing her husband on his 33rd birthday. An entrepreneur and professional baker, Mittali founded her startup, “All The JAZZ - Luxury Bakes,” in February 2020 in Thane, Mumbai.
The duo got engaged in November 2021 and tied the knot two years later on February 27, 2023. On Wednesday, Mittali took to Instagram to share a video celebrating Shardul’s birthday. She captioned the post:
“Today, let's celebrate you 🥂❤️, Happy birthday my 🌍.”
Shardul was last seen in action during the Round 1 match of the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy for Mumbai. Baroda posted 290 runs in their first innings, bolstered by half-centuries from Mitesh Patel (86) and Atit Sheth (66). Shardul took two wickets for Mumbai.
In response, Mumbai were dismissed for 214, with Ayush Mhatre top-scoring at 52. Baroda's captain Krunal Pandya performed well in their second innings, scoring 55 as they were bowled out for 185, setting a target of 262 runs.
The defending champions struggled and were all out for 177, losing by 84 runs. Bhargav Bhatt had a standout performance, claiming 10 wickets in the match, leading Baroda to their first victory over Mumbai in 26 years.
Shardul Thakur has represented India in 83 games across formats
