Mustafizur Rahman, left-arm medium pacer, has so far taken 14 wickets, which is the second highest.

Other team members of CSK, including Ravindra Jadeja, Rachin Ravindra, Shivam Dubey, Moeen Ali, Daryll Mitchelle, Ajinkya Rahane, Sammer Rizvi, Deepak Chahar, Mitchelle Santner and Shardul Thakur, were also seen coming out of the airport. Many of them are accompanied by their families.
