Aaakash Chopra has seemingly made himself a much more salient moniker as a cricket analyst than being a cricketer. From being a woeful Test opener to a hefty appellation in the panoply of analysing Gods, the transition has been slicker than ever.
In the preceding edition ofthe fray, he went on a full-scale war with Jimmy Neesham after the latter failed to pick up his performance in the ranks of Kings XI Punjab.
As Chennai returned to fray after a disastrous 2020, all eyes were on Suresh Raina, the man who has been the spine of the Chennai batting ever since the inception of the tournament.
Toting the onus of the team on his shoulders like ever, Raina started whacking the bowlers all around the park in no time as soon as he arrived to the crease.
However, the support that he received from the other end was minimal and that imposed further pressure on the southpaw. He was looking restless in between and when the pressure reached its peak, his brashness cost him his wicket.
However, just before the fall of his wicket, Aakash Chopra predicted that in very quick succession, Delhi will be looking forward to a scalp. Just a run later, Raina found himself stuttering short of the crease when Chris Woakes dislodged the bails with a theatrical flourish.
Chopra’s tweet read, “There’s a wicket not too far away, it seems…..will it be Raina? #CSKvDC #IPL2021”

While he was excessively happy with his power to foresee such happenings, he posted again in short succession that read, “Definitely not”.
Definitely Not ?? https://t.co/ovYOekkwBX

Irrespective of the fact that Dhoni’s return to the mantle was woeful, Aakash Chopra’s consistency has been impeccable as an analyst.
