#2 Harbhajan Singh remains unused

In an all-important game in the tournament, MS Dhoni was yet again instrumental in his ability to read the game and make adjustments accordingly.
With few wickets upfront, Dhoni was confident to bowl just 5 bowlers despite Harbhajan Singh being the more experienced spinner in the team. This was also the first instance in this edition when Chennai could resist bowling more than five bowling options.
However, it was a decision that took many aback after Harbhajan was denied any bowling opportunity on a ground where he had represented Mumbai in the past ten years. The seasoned campaigner in Bhajji has been economical with some consistent spells in the edition so far.
He has 7 wickets in the 13 games with an economy of 8.71 which sees his maiden stint with CSK as a decent one.
