    What's the story

    Kolkata Knight Riders have traded in Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur from Delhi Capitals ahead of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

    According to ESPNcricinfo, the all-cash deal was finalized on Monday.

    Thakur becomes the third player acquired by the Knight Riders through a trade.

    They have already traded in Lockie Ferguson and Rahmanullah Gurbaz from Gujarat Titans in another all-cash deal.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Thakur, a fast-bowling all-rounder served the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for several years.

    He evolved under the leadership of MS Dhoni.

    The Capitals bought him in the 2022 IPL mega auction for Rs. 10.75 crore.

    Thakur finished the season with 15 wickets in 14 matches at an economy of 9.79.

    The Indian all-rounder also amassed 120 runs at a strike rate of nearly 138.

    The Kiwi pacer was an integral member of IPL 2022 champions, GT.

    Notably, Ferguson, one of the fastest bowlers presently, represented the Knight Riders in the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

    Meanwhile, Gurbaz is expected to replace Sam Billings, who has withdrawn from the 2023 season.
