His family lived in Palghar. But, as there were no schools in Palghar that played cricket with the season ball, Shardul along with his family shifted to Boisar, just to play cricket with season ball in T.V.M. School Boisar. Earlier in his school cricket, he hit 6 sixes from 6 balls in an over while representing Swami Vivekanand International School, Borivali.
Thakur was initially criticized for his lack of height for a fast bowler (he is 5&nbsp;ft 9 in) and for being overweight for some time (83&nbsp;kg) but he ultimately became a part of Mumbai domestic team.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rizvi|first=Taus|date=4 January 2015|title=Shardul Thakur: The next big product of Mumbai cricket|url=https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/shardul-thakur-the-next-big-product-of-mumbai-cricket-232240|access-date=28 March 2021|website=Cricket Country}}</ref>
