Mumbai, Feb 4 (IANS): Tata Power, electric utility company based in Mumbai, on Tuesday signed India pacer Shardul Thakur as its brand ambassador.
Thakur, who has done exceedingly well in the just concluded T20I series in New Zealand, will support the multiple new green initiatives of Tata Power. The bowler won the Man of the Match award in the fourth T20I in Wellington last week. For Thakur, Tata Power will be his first major commercial endorsement.
Shardul, a Mumbai boy, got his first taste of first-class cricket for Mumbai in 2012-13. Known for his aggressive pace bowling, Thakur's breakthrough season came in 2014-15 when he claimed 48 wickets at 20.81 and rocked the bowling charts.
The ongoing New Zealand series has seen Shardul perform well for India.
