Chennai Superkings made a stunning comeback to the IPL last season by winning their third IPL title. CSK, who were trolled for buying aged players, won crucial moments in the tournament riding on the experience of these aged players. One of the aged players bought by CSK at the auction was Harbhajan Singh.

The Indian off-spinner was released by Mumbai Indians before the auctions. Even though CSK had a barrage of spinners in its side, Harbhajan was seen as a potent weapon for Dhoni. However, things did not go well for the Turbanator.

Harbhajan took just 7 wickets in 13 matches and gave away runs at a high economy of 8.48.

Also, there were a lot of instances where he did not complete his quota of 4 overs.

Moreover, while other senior players like Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and Gautam Gambhir have been toiling hard by playing domestic tournaments, Harbhajan has turned towards TV commentary and the lack of competitive cricket might go against him.
