Harbhajan Singh's IPL stint with CSK 

Harbhajan Singh was all set to represent the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) this summer in the Indian Premier League (IPL) but due to the coronavirus crisis, the BCCI decided to indefinitely postpone the tournament until further notice for everyone's safety. 'The Turbanator' has already won an IPL trophy with CSK when they made their comeback in 2018 after a two-year hiatus due to the 2013 spot-fixing scandal.

Harbhajan Singh's CSK side was all set to open their campaign against Mumbai Indians on March 29 at the Wankhede Stadium. The off-spinner has not yet retired from cricket and last played for India in 2016. The 39-year-old has played 103 Tests with his final game for the Men in Blue in 2015.
