Kolkata: After Suresh Raina, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has pulled out from the upcoming season of Indian Premier League (IPL) due to personal reasons on Friday (September 4). This comes in as a huge blow for the two-time IPL winners. Earlier, 13 members of the CSK have tested positive including two players.
Harbhajan was scheduled to join the team in UAE on September 1 but didn’t. He also didn’t take part in CSK’s five-day conditioning training which took place in Chennai which gave a hint that the legendary bowler might skip IPL 2020.

“I have pulled out of IPL due to personal reasons,” Harbhajan told PTI. The 13th edition of IPL is set to kick off from September 19 in the UAE. With both Raina and Harbhajan withdrawing themselves from the game, CSK certainly need to do a lot of work on their playing combination and game plan to stay in the entitle hunt.
