Matthew Hayden: Retirement has made him available for Chennai Super Kings of IPL

The retirement of Australia’s left-arm opening batsman, Matthew Hayden, has become a good thing for his franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He now will be available for the second edition of his IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings. I think club members and team mates will be pleased to get such an in form and veteran player among them. This aggressive but dependable batsman will help his team to increase the power and get the prestigious title.

Matthew Hayden could not play all the matches of the inaugural edition of IPL due to home series. He could attend for only four of Chennai’s 14 matches where he scored 189 runs at an average of 63 and strike-rate of 144.27. You may know that he was purchased for US $ 375,000 in auction. Chennai Super Kings lead by Mahendra Singh Dhoni became the runners up team in the first edition of IPL. I hope this time they will be the champion team.
