No, as based off the definition of thunder:
Noun: A loud rumbling or crashing noise heard after a lightning flash due to the expansion of rapidly heated air.
It is lightning that you would be struck by. Theoretically you could be hit by the waves caused by the rapid expansion but that would be the equivalent of saying you were hit not with a grenade but with the explosion of it when that is the nature of the cause to start.
