In the IPL, there is a restriction on the number of overseas players who can play in a match as teams can only play a maximum of 4 foreigners. However, they were allowed to play 5 overseas players in a game during the now-defunct Champions League T20 match against CSK. Because of several injuries to their Indian players, they were allowed to field 5 overseas players given that was an exceptional circumstance. The five who took the field were Kieron Pollard, Lasith Malinga, Andrew Symonds, Davey Jacobs, and Aiden Blizzard.
