During the Zimbabwe tour Thakur regularly delivered hard lengths and back-of-a-length deliveries, which formed the basis of his early international outings.

When named for the third and final T20I, Thakur again completed four overs and maintained a similar workload, ending with 4-0-45-2. His second set of figures in the series showed he was entrusted with regular overs and expected to execute the same line and length. The repetition of his role across matches underlined the continuity in the team’s use of his skill set.
Across the two appearances, the statistical returns — 4-0-30-2 on debut and 4-0-45-2 in the last match — provide a clear record of Thakur’s initial impact on the tour.
