Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan and Mayank Agarwal
The Indian Premier League is known to throw up instant heroes each year but given the multi-million dollar price tags attached to some of the players, there are quite a few who don`t live up to the hype too. mid-day.com brings you three such India players, who went for big bucks, but failed to match their pay with too many wickets or runs.
Shardul Thakur: Rs 10.75 Cr (KKR)
The bowling all-rounder had a very poor IPL 2023, taking just seven wickets in 11 matches for Kolkata Knight Riders. His best bowling figures were 2-23 which came in a thrilling five-run win over the Sunrisers Hyderabad at Hyderabad on May 4. With the bat too, Thakur, 31, was unable to score big, having managed just one 50-plus score (68 in KKR`s 81-run win against RCB on April 6 at Eden Gardens). An economy rate of 10.48 wasn`t anything to be proud of either for a man who has played eight Tests, 35 ODIs and 25 T20Is for his country.
