However, since then, Cariappa did not get much opportunities.
In the 2016 season, he got a chance to play only 5 matches, in the 2017 season he was able to play four matches. Apart from this, he participated in only one match in the 2019 season.
At the same time, he remained unsold in the 2018 and 2020 seasons. Meanwhile, Kariyappa was also a part of the Punjab Kings team and is currently in the Rajasthan Royals team.
Casey Cariappa reacted to his IPL career in a special conversation with SportsKeeda. He said,
I did not get much opportunities in IPL. There was a lot of discussion when I was selected in 2015, but I did not get a chance to play more matches. ABD was my debut wicket but I did not play after that. I lost my place after the arrival of Sunil Narine. I also played only a few matches for Punjab. But as everyone says that the more matches you play, the more your confidence will increase.
