5 Cricketers Whose IPL Career Grew Considerably After They Left CSK

Many times the Indian Premier League, the Indian T20 league competition, is compared with other league competitions but there is no doubt that IPL is the biggest of them all as big names of the cricket world come to participate in this contest. This year (2022) two new teams have been added in the tournament otherwise there used to be 8 teams and all of them have a pretty big fan base.

However, there are few teams which have bigger fan base in comparison to other teams and Chennai Super Kings is certainly one of them. One of the biggest reasons of its huge popularity is its skipper MS Dhoni who has led the team since 2008 and the franchise has won the IPL title four times under his leadership. CSK has given a platform to many talented youngsters to prove their worth but there have been some cricketers whose career graph went upward only after leaving the franchise.

It may sound a little unbelievable but here is a list of players who experienced growth in career after saying goodbye to CSK:

1. Wriddhiman Saha:

The veteran Indian cricketer who played for West Bengal in the domestic season has been playing in IPL since the inaugural edition of 2008. His IPL journey started with the Bengal franchise Kolkata Knight Riders and he used to feature in almost each match for the franchise. From 2008 to 2011, he played 33 matches but in 2011, KKR released him and he was bought by CSK. He was in CSK for three years but played only 14 matches and even in those matches, he was not able to perform well.

In 2014, Wriddhiman Saha was bought by Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and played 57 matches for the franchise in which he affect 48 dismissals as a wicketkeeper and scored 1115 runs as a batsman. Saha’s innings of 115 in 2014 final against KKR can easily be called his best innings of IPL. Though he ended up on the losing side, he still batted beautifully under pressure and he deserves all the praises for that. In 2018, he shifted to Sunrisers Hyderabad and presently he is a part of Gujarat Titans which bought him for Rs. 1.9 crore in the mega-auction for IPL 2022.

2. Samuel Badree:

The West Indian cricketer has also been a part of IPL for few seasons, he started his IPL journey with the Rajasthan franchise and soon shifted to CSK in the year 2014. However, Samuel Badree didn’t get many chances to play as spinners because Ravichandran Aswhin and Ravindra Jadeja were already in CSK. As he performed brilliantly in international matches for West Indies, he was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the year 2017 and he made his presence felt in the first match itself. Playing against Mumbai Indians, Samuel Badree took a hat-trick in his debut match with one of the batsmen being hitman Rohit Sharma. Samuel Badree ended the match with figures 4/9 but he didn’t play after that season.

3. George Bailey:

The former Aussie cricketer was also a part of CSK from 2009 till 2011 and in this duration, he played only 4 matches. In 2014, he was picked by Kings XI Punjab and the franchise played its only IPL final under his leadership. George Bailey played one more season for the Punjab franchise after which he was picked by Rising Pune Supergiant.

4. Chris Morris:

The former South African cricketer who took retirement from international cricket last year started his IPL journey with MS Dhoni led CSK in 2013 and the all-rounder played 16 matches for the franchise. However, soon he went out of focus because the West Indian cricketer Dwayne Bravo also provided the same skill set. Later on, Chris Morris played for Delhi Daredevils (Delhi Capitals) and in 2021, he became the most expensive player as Rajasthan Royals spent a huge amount of Rs. 16.25 crore for buying him.

5. Vijay Shankar:

The Indian cricketer who made his debut for India in the year 2018 was associated with CSK in the year 2014 but played only one match for the team. After getting released from CSK, he was bought by SRH but there also he didn’t get much opportunity as he played only 4 matches. However, he became a little famous after he became a part of Delhi Daredevils and currently he is a part of new IPL team Gujarat Titans but he hasn’t been able to perform well for the franchise.

Do you know about more such players? Add to the list.

Remember Anurag Kashyap Called Abhay Deol ‘Painfully Difficult’? Actor Has A Fiery Reaction

The Bollywood actor Abhay Deol is quite different from the Deols of B-Town despite being in relation with them; however, he has definitely entertained us a lot and has given some very good performances in movies – “Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!”, “Manorama Six Feet Under”, “Dev D”, etc.

“Dev D” starred Kalki Koechlin, Mahie Gill and Nawazuddin Siddiqui along with Abhay Deol and this 2009 released flick was directed by Anurag Kashyap. The movie was a modern day take on the classic Bengali novel Devdas which was authored by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. It was liked by the youngsters more because it was easy for them to connect with the film easily in comparison to the earlier Bollywood versions of the Bengali novel.

Though the flick was loved by audiences, Abhay Deol and Anurag Kashyap didn’t have a good experience working together and they never came together again for any other project.

In the year 2020, Anurag Kashyap said in an interview that it was difficult for him to work with Abhay because he was quite confused as to what he wants. According to Anurag, Abhay is a wonderful actor but on one hand, he wishes to work in artistic movies and on the other, he also wants the benefits that an actor gets while working in commercial cinema. Kashyap went on to say that the early success made Abhay arrogant and he wanted all the luxuries of being a Deol.

Anurag Kashyap further added that the whole team of “Dev D” stayed in a Paharganj hotel but Abhay stayed in a five star hotel. The director also alleged that Abhay didn’t even promote the flick and his behaviour with other members of the group was not good too. Kashyap categorically stated that he didn’t talk to the actor after the shooting of “Dev D” got over.


While Abhay Deol maintained silence all this time, recently when he was asked to say one word for Anurag Kashyap and in his response, Abhay said, ‘gaslighter’.

Gaslighting is a term which is used for a type of manipulation in which a bully or abuser targets the victim by creating a false narrative and makes the victim doubt his/her own judgments and reality. As a result, the victim gets confused about his own perceptions and even starts thinking that he is turning insane.

During the interview, Abhay Deol further adds that there are pros and cons of everything and he is being gaslit for just being himself. He says that though he is blissfully ignorant of many bad practices and comparisons that happen in the movie industry yet sometimes others can take advantage of the ignorance and bliss can turn into misery easily.

Don’t you think that Abhay and Anurag should patch up and work together more and give us some really good movies as they both are pretty great in what they do?

Jos Buttler Remembers RR’s Legend Shane Warne After Brilliant Century In 2nd Qualifier

The IPL 2022 is certainly very special for the IPL team Rajasthan Royals as this is the second time it has reached the finals of the tournament, the first time the team made it to the finals was in the inaugural edition in 2008 in which it defeated Chennai Super Kings to win the trophy. Shane Warne, the legendary former Aussie cricketer who departed from the world in March this year due to heart attack, was the skipper of RR at that time and Sanju Samson has become the second skipper of RR to take his team into the finals; now whether he will be able to make his team lift the trophy or not, only time will tell. Since 2008, Shane Warne was a part of RR in some capacity, whether it is of coach or mentor and it won’t be wrong to say that RR players, fans and other people associated with the franchise must be missing him big time.

Sanju Samson led RR defeated Faf du Plessis led Royal Challengers Bangalore in the second qualifier and now it will face Hardik Pandya led Gujarat Titans in the finals which will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on May 29.

In the second qualifier, RR batter Jos Buttler shined once again as he smashed his fourth century of the tournament and helped his team chase the target of 158. After the match while speaking in the presentation ceremony, Player of the Match Jos Buttler said Shane Warne had a great influence on RR and he is very much missed in the camp but they all are sure of one thing that Shane Warne must be looking at them with pride because of the good manner in which they have played in the tournament.

Jos Buttler also said that he was very excited to play in the largest stadium of the world, in front of the crowd present in the count of 100 thousand. He added that he enjoyed a lot the fantastic game of cricket and there is no doubt that getting the chance to play in the finals of the world’s biggest T20 tournament is truly incredible.

As far as the match is concerned, the toss was won by RR and it chose to bowl first. The RR bowlers proved the decision absolutely correct as they limited RCB at the score of 157/8 in 20 overs. All the big names of RCB – Virat Kohli (7), Faf du Plessis (25), Glenn Maxwell (24) and Dinesh Karthik (6) failed in the big game, the hero of RCB’s last match Rajat Patidaar was once again the highest scorer with 58 runs which he made in 42 balls and his innings included 4 fours & 3 sixes.

In response, RR achieved the target with 7 wickets in hand and 11 balls remaining in its innings.

Shane Warne must be happy seeing RR’s performance! RIP legend!

Gautam Gambhir Reacts After His Team LSG Got Knocked Out In The Eliminator Of IPL 2022

Gautam Gambhir, the former Indian cricketer and the mentor of the new IPL team Lucknow Super Giants, is certainly very disappointed at the moment because his team LSG got knocked out in the eliminator of the IPL 2022. LSG faced Royal Challengers Bangalore in the eliminator which was played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Though it is disheartening for the LSG players and fans as they played so well in the tournament and won 9 out of 14 matches, the mentor Gautam Gambhir has made a statement through his Instagram post in which he says that they will come back stronger.

Gautam Gambhir posted a photo of himself from the training sessions in which his backside is visible and he captioned the photo with, “Hard luck today but a great tournament for our new team. We’ll come back stronger…. Until we meet again! @lucknowsupergiants”

This was the first time that LSG took part in the IPL and it is certainly an achievement for a team to enter the play-offs under the leadership of KL Rahul. At the same time, it won’t be wrong to say that Gautam Gambhir played a big role in whatever the team has achieved. Gambhir certainly knows what it takes to win the trophy because he has led Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL title wins twice and he won’t be leaving any stone unturned in coming back stronger in the IPL 2023.

As far as the eliminator is concerned, the match totally belonged to RCB batter Rajat Patidar who played a smashing knock of 112 runs not out (54 balls, 12 fours & 7 sixes) and set the platform for a big score for RCB. Dinesh Karthik once again shined in his role of a finisher as he scored 37 runs not out (23 balls, 5 fours & 1 six), RCB posted a total of 207/4 on the board after batting first.

In response, LSG tried well as the skipper KL Rahul played a good innings of 79 runs (58 balls, 3 fours & 5 sixes) and Deepak Hooda also made a useful contribution of 45 runs (26 balls, 1 four & 4 sixes) but it fell short by 14 runs.

Today, Rajasthan Royals and RCB are clashing against each other in the second qualifier which is being played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, and the winner of today’s match will face Gujarat Titans in the finals which will be played at the same venue on May 29.

Which team do you think will win today’s match?

Viral Photo Of Paan Or Gutka Stain Inside Plane Sparks Twitter With A Meme Fest

There is no denying the fact that eating tobacco is harmful not only for health but also for cleanliness of our cities as many people spit in public places, leaving a red stain which is really disgusting and unacceptable. Though the central government and the state governments are emphasizing a lot on the cleanliness as PM Modi started the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan some years ago and we got some good results as well, there are still few cities where people are in no mood to listen and they keep on spoiling surroundings of public places by spitting and leaving red stain.

However, one person crossed all the limits and went to such an extent that he left his autograph (spit stain) on the inner wall of an airplane and it is really yuck.

A Twitter user Awanish Saran shared the photo of the spit stain in the airplane on the micro-blogging site Twitter with the caption, “अपनी पहचान छोड़ दी किसी ने.” (Someone left his mark behind).

The tweet soon went viral and online users left no chance of expressing themselves; while some had fun by means of hilarious tweets, several others demanded punishment for that traveler as it is not difficult to find out who travelled earlier on that seat. There were also few who expressed their unhappiness over the fact that people forget basic etiquettes so easily. On the other hand, some netizens availed themselves of the opportunity to take a dig at the Bollywood actors Ajay Devgn, Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar who have promoted a tobacco brand.

Check out some of the selected reactions:

This is certainly heights and it’s high time people learn basic etiquettes if they really don’t want to get banned from traveling by air. What is your opinion in this connection? Share with us.

Aakash Chopra Thinks Mumbai Indians Will Release These 4 Cricketers Ahead Of IPL 2023

The IPL 2022 is in its final phase as today Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore will clash against each other in the second qualifier and the winner of this match will play in the finals on May 29 against the new IPL team Gujarat Titans. Both the games – today’s match and the final one will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

It won’t be wrong to say that many surprises sprung in the IPL 2022 and one of them was the failure of five times champion Mumbai Indians in the tournament. Rohit Sharma-led team is considered as one of the strongest teams of the league and it was considered as the favorites to win the tournament but it ended at the bottom of the points table with just 4 wins in the 14 matches played by it.

There is no denying the fact that the MI team management will leave no stone unturned in preparing for a comeback in the IPL 2023 and it will certainly require release of some players and formation of a new team.

The former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has spoken on this matter in a video which has been posted on his YouTube channel. He states that MI will release the Caribbean cricketer Kieron Pollard (Rs. 6 crore) because he performed badly in the tournament and as per Chopra, Pollard’s last has been seen this time. Though Kieron Pollard has played an important role in MI’s earlier title wins but in this season, he has scored only 144 runs at a low average of 14.40.

Aakash Chopra further says that MI may or may not release Murugan Ashwin (Rs. 1.6 crore) and Jaydev Unadkat (Rs. 1.3 crore) but he is sure that Tymal Mills (Rs. 1.5 crores) will definitely be released.

Aakash Chopra was full of praises for Tilak Varma who was consistent throughout the IPL 2022 and performed pretty well with the bat. In his opinion, Tilak Varma has a good temperament and he is a useful investment for future. Chopra also appreciates Tim David and says that MI didn’t show confidence in him in the beginning but when they gave him chance, he justified his selection completely. While Tilak Varma scored 397 runs (strike rate – 131.02) in 14 matches, Tim David scored 186 runs (strike rate – 216.28) in 8 matches.

Talking about the reason behind MI’s poor performance in the IPL 2022, Aakash Chopra said that in this season, MI was one-dimensional team as it didn’t have good all-rounders. He added that MI’s batters don’t bowl and bowlers don’t bat, earlier Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and Kieron Pollard used to play the role of all-rounders in a good manner. It is not the case now which means they need to form a new team and give more chances to the youngsters.

Do you agree with Aakash Chopra? Let us know your views in this regard.
