In 2018, Chennai Super Kings signed him up and the Mumbai cricketer played four seasons for the franchise. His best IPL season so far came in 2021 when he starred with the ball to help the Chennai Super Kings win the title. Thakur picked up 21 wickets and finished the IPL as the third-highest wicket-taker. Ahead of IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals signed him before he joined Kolkata Knight Riders in 2023. For IPL 2024, he was once again bought by Chennai Super Kings. Overall, Thakur has played 95 games in the IPL so far and has taken 94 wickets. Here is a list showing Shardul Thakur's IPL teams' list.
