The all-rounder was bought for a whopping Rs 10.75 crore in the 2022 mega-auction owing to his stupendous performances in the Indian team. Thakur picked up 15 wickets in the 2022 edition at an average of 31.53 and an economy of 9.79. He also scored 120 runs with the bat at a strike rate of 137.93.
Despite the massive potential of the all-rounder, the Delhi franchise released him ahead of the mini-auction. The 31-year-old is in his prime and is expected to deliver the goods this year after a forgettable season in 2022. Thakur’s release came as a surprise to many.
