#3 Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur has grown on to become one of India's most reliable bowlers. During his time at Kings XI Punjab, his value as a cricketer was significantly underestimated and he just got a solitary chance to prove his mettle.
However, due to lack of game time at Kings XI Punjab, he moved to now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017. His move to Rising Pune Supergiant has paid dividends and his abilities were put to good use by the franchise and he earned immense recognition as a result.
After Rising Pune Supergiant was disbanded in 2018, he was bought by Chennai Super Kings for 2.60 crores in the 2018 IPL Auction. He was a mainstay in Chennai Super Kings' squad and scalped 16 wickets from 13 matches. Also, his knock of 15* runs from five balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad played a major part in CSK's qualification to the finals.
