WATCH: Shardul Thakur wears back CSK Jersey as the team brings him back for IPL 2024
The defending champions Chennai Super Kings recently welcomed back their former teammate Shardul Thakur to their squad in the IPL auction 2024. Thakur was recently released by Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the auction. Chennai Super Kings made an interesting move by buying back Thakur after releasing him before the mega auction in IPL 2022.
After returning to his original franchise, Shardul Thakur recently wore the Chennai Super Kings jersey. Thakur failed to make an impact in IPL 2023 as he could only take seven wickets in the 11 matches he played for KKR. It will be interesting to see how he will perform in IPL 2024 or Chennai Super Kings.

Former Chennai Super Kings player, popularly known as Mr IPL, Suresh Raina picked Shardul Thakur to be a part of Chennai Super Kings in the mock IPL auction on Star Sports on 18 December.
Raina said, “He is very similar to Pat Cummins. He has done well in the bowling department as well as with the bat. KKR, I don’t think used him in that manner. When he played for CSK, he has done really well. He brought a lot of quality with the older ball as well as the new ball. (Deepak) Chahar is a bit injury-prone, and (Matheesha) Pathirana also is. He is an all-rounder like Deepak Chahar.”
Chennai Super Kings squad for IPL 2024 so far:
Shardul Thakur, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, Devon Conway (wk), Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajay Mandal, Mukesh Choudhary, Matheesha Pathirana, Ajinkya Rahane, Shaik Rasheed, Mitchell Santner, Simarjeet Singh, Nishant Sindhu, Prashant Solanki, Maheesh Theekshana
