Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur is a hit-the-deck fast bowler to generate unexpected bounce and seam movement. He might not be most selectors cup of tea when it comes to T20 cricket, but currently he is being groomed for red-ball cricket in the future. MSD though understands his value and Thakur remains an important player for Chennai even without a very glittery Indian T20 league career. Thakur will still give you some differential fantasy cricket points this year.
