Aditya Thakare

Pacer Aditya Thakare has been called in as cover for an injured Ishan Porel in the Indian under-19 cricket team, which is currently competing in the ICC World Cup.

Aditya Thakare last featured for Vidarbha in Ranji Trophy during the inconsequential final league match against Saurashtra last season. While he bowled well, wickets eluded this tall pacer. If Umesh Yadav and Rajneesh Gurbani are in the side, it's always a competition for other pacers for the third seamer's slot.

Jharkhand's Ranji Trophy campaign suffered a huge 308-run loss against Vidarbha. Umesh Yadav and Aditya Thakare starred with the ball. Dhruv Shorey and Atharva Taide made valuable contributions. Vidarbha's victory helped them climb to the top of the Group A table, surpassing Haryana, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Saurashtra, Services, Jharkhand, and Manipur.

Vidarbha beats Madhya Pradesh by 62 runs in the Ranji summit clash to secure a spot in the final against Mumbai in the Maharashtra derby at Wankhede. Aditya Thakare, Yash Thakur, Yash Dubey, Harsh Gawali, Akshay Wakhare, and Aditya Sarvate play pivotal roles in the victory.

Aditya Thakare's impressive four-wicket haul left Tamil Nadu at 159/6, trailing Vidarbha's 353 in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal. Tamil Nadu's top order struggled despite a resilient 65-run knock by C Andre Siddharth. Vidarbha was led by Karun Nair's century and Harsh Dubey's 69. Tamil Nadu hopes for a fightback from Pradosh Ranjan Paul and skipper R Sai Kishore.

Atharva Taide’s (144, 66b; with 17x4, 7x6) swashbuckling century guided Mumbai Customs to a convincing 56-run win over Air India during their Group A match of the 17th DY Patil T20 Cup in Navi Mumbai on Monday.

Aditya Thakare is growing in reputation with each match. A week after his 12-wicket haul guided Vidarbha to victory over Rajasthan, Thakare was again in his element on the penultimate day of 4-day match against Punjab on Tuesday.

An untimely injury might have pegged back his progress a bit but that has hardly affected Aditya Thakare. The 18-year-old is back to where he belongs. He has been included for the National Cricket Academy Under-19 camp to be held from July 24 to August 16. He performed brilliantly in the recently-concluded Inter-Zonal Cricket tournament in Chennai.

Vidarbha bowlers, led by Akshay Wakhare's 3-47, maintained control over Uttarakhand, who concluded Day 2 at 242 for 7, trailing Vidarbha's first innings score by 84 runs. Despite Samarth R's brave century, Vidarbha managed to restrict further progress, aiming to finish the innings quickly on Day 3.

Actor Aditya Thakare, who has made his film debut with the recently released film, 'Dhadak 2', has shared that getting selected for the part was a moment of joy and blessing. The actor said that he got the offer for the film when he was at a Ganpati Visarjan with his friends.

Aditya Thakare's exceptional bowling limited Tamil Nadu to 225 after Vidarbha's first innings score of 353. Vidarbha reached 169 for 5 at stumps on day three, thanks to Yash Rathod's unbeaten 55. Vidarbha now lead by 297 runs.

Odisha skipper Sandeep Pattanaik (110 n.o; 190b, 14x4) must be a happy man after he got an invitation to bat after losing the toss on Sunday.

Former champions Vidarbha open their Ranji Trophy campaign against the Services. The match will be played in the city from January 5-8. Vidarbha have been placed in Elite Group B.

Delhi's miserable season just got worse as premier speedster Ishant Sharma twisted his ankle after another woeful outing with the bat against defending champions Vidarbha in a Ranji Trophy Group A encounter on Monday.

Bat once, bat big, get seven points: That, in short, will be Vidarbha’s gameplan against Manipur in their second Ranji Trophy match from Friday. Though the plot sounds a lot more about batting, the bowlers will be key. They will be expected to bowl out the minnows twice as soon as possible at the ADSA Railway Ground In Ahmedabad.

Barring Wasim Jaffer's brilliant display of batting, Sunday was not so inspiring for Vidarbha. The batters struggled badly under seaming conditions. It looked like Delhi, playing on their home turf, were comfortably placed after bowling defending champions for just 179. It was then that Vidarbha pacer Aditya Thakare set cat among the pigeons.

Vidarbha have staged a remarkable comeback in the match after getting all out for just 66 on the opening day. They scored mammoth 443 runs in the second innings and set up huge 358-run target for Rajasthan. They further bolstered their position in the match by reducing the rivals to 82 for 3 at stumps on Day 3 of the four-day match of the Under-23 CK Nayudu Trophy in Jaipur on Sunday.

Vidarbha aims to maintain their momentum against Puducherry in the Ranji Trophy, dealing with team selection challenges due to Dhruv Shorey's return and Umesh Yadav's injury. Key players Atharva Taide, Akshay Wadkar, and Aditya Thakare need to step up for another strong performance.

Aditya Thakare was invloved in nine out of ten Delhi wickets. The 21-year-old was all over Delhi, picking up his best First Class figures, and taking two excellent catches. The second one of those dismissed Delhi’s top scorer Anuj Rawat, who was the only one to look comfortable on a challenging wicket at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi.

Indian Gymkhana and Medical Representative Cricket Club (MRCC) — who will face-off in semifinal on Sunday — were pitted against each other in their last league match Guzder League ‘A’ Division One-dayers on Friday.
