Suresh Raina is very well known as MR IPL for his classic batting skills he is a key player for Chennai Super Kings for a long run and scored some fabulous knocks that helped the team to clinch winners position in crucial moments so it’s very difficult to imagine a team without him in yellow Jersey. He has been a sensational player in the 3rd position and the left-hand batter has been may not be retained by the team because of his poor performance in the Indian Premier Leauge 2021 in recent times he is not completely out of form but still there a lot of expectations from all the fans that the franchise may purchase him but surprisingly the franchise even didn’t make a bid for him. This has been a shocking incident for everyone and adds for this he went unsold this made it a much more important aspect to be noticed by everyone.
The Chennai Super Kings CEO Viswanathan reveals the actual reason for not taking Suresh Raina in the Auction as “Raina has been a consistent performer over a decade, it was so difficult not to have him but at the same time, team combination depends on form & kind of team which any team like to have & that one of the reasons why Raina won’t fit into the team, we will miss him”. Notably, Raina is one of the top players that has scored more than 5500 runs. But the Chennai Super Kings management has retained Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, and Moeen Ali and with some smart purchases like that of Devon Conway, CSK is looking set to continue their remarkable consistent run in IPL. The Chennai management has yet managed to keep some of the star players like Robbin Uthappa, Dwayne Bravo, and Deepak Chahar but another plot of the twist is he went for a looping amount of 14 crores and grabbed the highest bidding for the pace bowler of recent IPL.
