Following CSK and RR's suspensions and the ensuing mega-auction, Thakur was signed by the Rising Pune Supergiants, where he played under Steven Smith and MS Dhoni as captains. After being purchased at an auction by the Chennai Super Kings in January 2018, he continued to play for MS Dhoni.

Thakur played sparingly for the Chennai Super Kings in the 2019 Indian Premier League. Despite this, he faced the Mumbai Indians in the final and took two wickets. However, after Thakur was out LBW with two runs on the penultimate delivery, Chennai was unable to clinch the 2019 IPL title.
