10 Players you never knew were part of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL
There have been times when CSK have bought players and haven’t used them well enough and one of the main reasons for that is the core of the side.
3. George Bailey – 2009, 2010
It was back in February 2012 that George Bailey made his international debut. It was in a T20I against India at the SCG while a month later, he walked out in his maiden ODI. However, much before he shot onto the international scene, Bailey was a part of the IPL.
In 2009, the Australian middle-order batsman was bought at his base price of $50,000 by Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He played just three games in the season as he scored 45 runs from two innings. He was retained but again, played a mere one game in the 2010 season in which he struggled and scored a 24-ball 18.
Bailey fell out of contention in the IPL but returned in 2014 when he was picked by Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and led them to the final. The former Australian skipper also played a handful of games for Rising Pune Supergiant (2016) in 2016.
