Five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) parted ways with Indian bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Despite his impressive track record, Thakur went unsold during the auction, marking a surprising development in his IPL journey.<\/p>\n
Thakur, fondly known as \u201cLord Thakur\u201d among fans, had a significant impact during his two stints with CSK, spanning five seasons. He played 57 matches for the franchise, taking 60 wickets. His standout performance came during the 2021 season, where he was instrumental in CSK\u2019s title-winning campaign, claiming 21 wickets and delivering in crucial moments.<\/p>\n
While Thakur\u2019s ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a valuable asset, his release and subsequent failure to secure a team highlight the competitive nature of the auction. Despite this setback, the seasoned all-rounder will undoubtedly aim to make a strong comeback in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
