His signing was seen as a major coup after he left Telugu Titans and was picked up by the Thalaivas for \u20b959.5 lakh. Expectations were sky-high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, just after <strong>three matches<\/strong>, Pawan was <strong>excluded from the playing seven in the team&#8217;s fourth match<\/strong>, and he did not travel with the squad for their <strong>Jaipur leg<\/strong> of the tournament.
