Most cricketers earn well even after retirement through ads, business and investments. They also take jobs associated with cricket like commentary, coaching or administration.

Randiv was also a teammate of Indian star MS Dhoni at Chennai Super Kings (CSK). CSK picked up Randiv at the 2011 IPL player auction. He played for the franchise for two seasons. He also played on the highest stage at the World Cup. But despite this, Randiv found himself in a situation where he decided to work as a bus driver in Australia.
 
Randiv was part of the Sri Lanka squad that played in the World Cup 2011 final against India. Initially, he was omitted from his team for the 2011 Cricket World Cup but was called up as a replacement for injured Angelo Mathews.
