5 players whose IPL careers dwindled after leaving Chennai Super Kings

1) Michael Hussey

Michael Hussey

Who can forget 'Mr. Cricket' Michael Hussey's blistering century during the Chennai Super Kings' very first game in the history of IPL a decade ago! Hussey started off Chennai's IPL journey on a fantastic note scoring 116*(54) that included eight fours and nine sixes. The Aussie batsman stayed with Dhoni's men until the 2013 IPL scoring tons of runs at the top of the order thereby paving a perfect platform for the strong CSK middle-order to takeover.

Hussey, who scored 1691 runs in 46 matches during his six-year stint with Chennai, won the Orange Cap after finishing as the highest run-getter of the 2013 season scoring 733 runs in 16 matches.

The man who was a key member of CSK's title-winning 2010 and 2011 squads, moved to the Mumbai Indians for the 2014 edition of the IPL after being bought for INR 5 crore at the auction.

Unfortunately, he failed to replicate his Orange-cap winning performance, managing just 209 runs for Rohit Sharma's men in season seven. Though he returned to CSK in the following season, Hussey could not make any impact with the bat as before. He managed to score just 56 runs in the four matches he played during the 2015 IPL.
