Notably, CSK skipper had the worst season in 2020 as he managed just 200 runs from 14 games, the least number of runs he has scored in an IPL season. While in the first half of the IPL 2021 he has scored only 37 runs in 7 innings so far and if he’s in the form as seen in the video, he can posses a major threat for other teams and can add another IPL trophy in his cabinet.
