==== 2018–19 season ====
After his breakthrough season, [[2018–19 Indian Super League season|2018–19 Indian Super League]] season was a learning curve for Thapa, who was a regular fixture in the starting line-up. [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]], with just nine points, finished a lowly 10th on the points table. His form, perhaps, took a hit because of the non-stop football he has played for the past 12 months.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mindful of workload on Thapa, but youngsters must adapt to demands|url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/super-cup-2019-football-india-anirudh-thapa-chennaiyin-fc-john-gregory/article26783598.ece|date=9 April 2019|access-date=24 December 2020|archive-date=26 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926034001/https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/super-cup-2019-football-india-anirudh-thapa-chennaiyin-fc-john-gregory/article26783598.ece|url-status=live}}</ref> He played 18 matches for the club in the [[2018–19 Indian Super League season|ISL season]], from which he started 12 of them.

==== 2019–20 season ====
After a disappointing last [[2018–19 Indian Super League season|season]], [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]] qualified for the playoffs by finishing 4th on the points table. Thapa was the centre of their resurgence as he amassed 1 goal and 6 assists during the [[2019–20 Indian Super League season|season]]. However [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]] lost in the [[2020 Indian Super League Final|final]] to [[ATK (football club)|ATK]] by the margin of 3-1 on 14 March 2020.<ref>{{cite web|title=ATK Beat Chennaiyin FC Behind Closed Doors To Win Record 3rd Title|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/sports-news-atk-vs-chennaiyin-fc-isl-final-live-updates-and-football-scores-of-2019-20-indian-super-league-title-clash/348791|date=14 March 2020|access-date=24 December 2020|archive-date=22 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210122031356/https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/sports-news-atk-vs-chennaiyin-fc-isl-final-live-updates-and-football-scores-of-2019-20-indian-super-league-title-clash/348791|url-status=live}}</ref> After the conclusion of the [[2019–20 Indian Super League season|season]], Thapa stated that "he felt an improvement in his individual game".<ref>{{cite web|title=Anirudh Thapa: 'This ISL season was satisfactory overall'|url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/isl/anirudh-thapa-chennaiyin-fc-season-break-coronavirus-aiff/article31107894.ece|date=19 March 2020|access-date=24 December 2020|archive-date=23 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201023052103/https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/isl/anirudh-thapa-chennaiyin-fc-season-break-coronavirus-aiff/article31107894.ece|url-status=live}}</ref>
