IPL 2022 Auction: 3 Teams Which Can Target Shardul Thakur

3. Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders is the first team that might target Shardul Thakur in IPL 2022 auction. KKR have strong overseas pacers like Pat Cummins and Lockie Ferguson in the squad. However, in the domestic category, they do not have many good options for pacers.

Prasidh Krishna is a big name but he emerged highly expensive in one match in IPL 2021, due to which he was also rested in the following games. Hence, the franchise might aim to pick a powerful domestic pacer in the squad like Shardul Thakur.
