The flopped XI of IPL 2021 during the first half of the tournament
Players who couldn't play their parts well in the first half of IPL 2021.
8. Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur was a member of the inexperienced Indian team that managed to defeat the Aussies on their home soil. He is a handy batsman who can hit some blows down the order. Adding on, he can pick wickets during desperate situations when required. This makes him an important member of the national team and the CSK squad.
Thakur’s main job is to cover the middle overs and bowl during the death overs. This does bring some justification to his expensive economy rate. But, he has been the star performer during critical stages of the game. In his IPL career, Thakur has an economy rate of 9.13.
This season, Thakur has been a disappointment for the CSK fans. In seven games, he has picked only 5 wickets. Adding on, his best bowling figures are 2/52, which is not acceptable by any means. Talking about his economy rate, he has been bowling at 10.33 runs per over. Therefore, he is a deserving entrant to this squad.
