According to recent reports, Shardul Thakur has been traded to the Kolkata franchise from the Delhi franchise. There were several reports which were suggesting that Delhi have been looking to release this player ahead of the Indian T20 League 2023.

In that season, Shardul Thakur played 14 matches where he scored 120 runs, at a strike rate of 15. His overall strike rate was 137.93. However, he came up with some good performances with the ball.
