George Bailey? Chennai Super Kings? – Well, yes. Bailey was once part of this legendary team. In the initial days, CSK retained Bailey for four seasons before calling it a day on his association with the team. From 2009-12, CSK barely used this talent, contemplating on why he was constantly retained by the franchise. During his stint with them, Bailey only played a total of 4 encounters – making one game per season – scoring a meagre 63 runs.

He returned back to IPL in 2014 to captain the Kings XI Punjab successfully leading them to their first IPL finals. He also went onto put up a decent show with the bat, scoring 257 runs from 17 matches with a decent strike-rate of 135.26. Unsurprisingly, KXIP decided to retain Bailey for one more season.

While his performances with the bat remained the same, his leadership skills seemed to diminish over the course of a year. He was released the following year only to be picked up by the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant. However, he didn’t impress the management and was eventually dropped from the team.
