The 30-year-old has only appeared in one game for the team. He was their first-choice starter, but he failed to capitalise on the opportunity given to him. In the season opener against Kolkata, he scored three runs in eight balls. He was then dropped out of the playing XI, and Robin Uthappa was promoted in the batting order to open the innings with Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Chennai have played six games in the season so far, but have only managed to win one of them. They are currently positioned in ninth place in the points table. The defending champions were expected to have a good campaign this season, but they haven’t been able to live up to the expectations. The men in yellow will have to win almost every match from here on to stand a chance to qualify for the next stage of the tournament.

Chennai will play their next game against arch-rivals Mumbai on April 21  The 33rd match of the Indian T20 League 2022 will be played at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai
