In the previous competition, Thakur took 15 wickets in 14 games, however, he was only worth 9.79 runs. He was only able to generate 120 runs at an average of 15.00 with the bat.
The Mumbaikar was supposed to be transferred before the auction, but the necessary transactions for him could not be made in time. The 31-year-old has travelled to Australia to cover the fast bowlers in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022.
While still holding a significant position in the Indian team. He will, however, probably enter the mini-auction since Delhi Capitals want to get rid of him.
