HARBHAJAN SINGH (CSK)
Harbhajan Singh is another cricketer who is yet to fly to the UAE to join his Chennai Super Kings franchise for the upcoming IPL 2020 edition. The official reason given was the ill health of his mother.
Given that 13 members of the CSK franchise tested positive for the Coronavirus and leading batsman Suresh Raina possibly opting out of the tournament, Harbhajan Singh, reportedly, has also developed cold feet about playing in the UAE.

A top CSK official gave an update on his availability and said, "He was to join the team on 1st September but he has again deferred his arrival. We don’t know when he’s coming or whether he’s coming at all as he has not updated us (management) on his decision.”
CSK might not want to lose one more experienced campaigner in Harbhajan Singh, as they aim to win their 4th IPL title.
