Joginder Sharma - Deputy Superintendent of Police
The hero of India's 2007 T20 World Cup victory, Joginder Sharma played his last IPL match in 2011. In the only game he played for the Chennai Super Kings, Sharma conceded 34 runs in his three wicketless overs.
Although the Indian medium-pacer could not make it big on the cricket field, he has served the nation working as the Deputy Superintendent of Police in Haryana's Hisar district.
Suraj Randiv - Bus Driver in Australia
Sri Lankan off-spinner Suraj Randiv played eight games for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2011. He picked up six wickets and took two catches that year.
Like Joginder Sharma, even Randiv did not return to IPL after 2011. In a recent video, Randiv was spotted working as a bus driver in Australia.
Nuwan Kulasekara - Retired in 2019
Nuwan Kulasekara bowled the last ball of the 2011 Cricket World Cup to MS Dhoni. While Nuwan lost the summit clash then, just a few weeks later, he won the IPL under Dhoni's captaincy.
The Sri Lankan pacer dismissed one batsman in the only game he played for CSK. Kulasekara retired in 2019 and is a part of Sri Lanka Legends in Road Safety World Series 2021.
Albie Morkel - Assistant coach of Namibia
Albie Morkel was the 'X-factor' overseas all-rounder for the Chennai Super Kings in the initial IPL seasons. Morkel scored 138 runs and took 15 wickets in IPL 2011.
The South African star played his last IPL season for the Rising Pune Supergiant in IPL 2016. Now, he is the assitant coach of the Namibia team.
Abhinav Mukund - First-class cricketer and commentator
Abhinav Mukund was a back-up opener for the Chennai Super Kings team in 2011. He could not feature in the playing XI even once.
The left-handed batsman still plays first-class cricket for Tamil Nadu. He is also a part of the Star Sports Tamil commentary panel.
Wriddhiman Saha - Member of SRH in IPL 2021
Wriddhiman Saha was the Chennai Super Kings' back-up wicket-keeping option. Saha got to play seven matches in 2011, where he aggregated 68 runs at a strike rate of 107.93.
After MS Dhoni's retirement, Saha became India's preferred wicketkeeper in Tests. He will play for the SunRisers Hyderabad this year.
Tim Southee - Vice-captain of New Zealand
Tim Southee made his IPL debut in 2011. He bowled a fantastic last over against the Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2011, defending nine runs successfully.
Southee picked up four wickets for the Chennai Super Kings that year. While he is not a part of IPL, the pacer is New Zealand's vice-captain in limited-overs cricket.
Scott Styris - Cricket expert
Another Kiwi who won the championship with the Chennai Super Kings in 2011 was all-rounder Scott Styris. The veteran player had a forgettable season as he scored only five runs and had an economy rate of 13 with the ball.
Styris retired from the sport soon. He is a member of the Star Sports cricket experts' group now.
Sudeep Tyagi - Retired in 2020
Sudeep Tyagi made it to the Indian cricket team after some impressive performances for the MS Dhoni-led IPL franchise. Tyagi did not make it to the CSK playing XI in IPL 2011.
No other franchise signed him after the Chennai Super Kings decided against retaining Tyagi. He announced his retirement last year and played in the inaugural Lanka Premier League.
Murali Vijay - Played for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2020
Murali Vijay had an opportunity to revive his IPL career in 2020. However, he could not make the most out of the chances he received.
Vijay had been a match-winner for CSK in 2011, scoring 434 runs in 16 games. Unfortunately, no IPL team signed him at the 2021 Auction.
