Chennai Super Kings is one of the most successful teams in the history of the Indian Premier League, having won the title four 4 times. They are also one of the most consistent teams in the IPL. The biggest strength of the yellow-army is the core team, consisting of some of the best players around the world, including the likes of, MS Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo, Faf de Plessis, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina, and many more.
Among many, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has been an integral part of the Chennai Super Kings. Ever since the inception of the Indian Premier League, back in 2008, Suresh Raina has been associated with the team and has been one of the most prolific run-scorers in the tournament.
Raina, who is hailed as ‘Mr. IPL’ by his fans, has played many memorable knocks for CSK and his run-scoring spree has played a key role for the Yellow Army in becoming one of the most formidable and successful franchises in the cash-rich league
However, with the mega-auction just around the corner, a lot is about to change not just in Chennai Super Kings but in all the franchises. Now with six days to go for franchises to submit their list of four retained players, there have been speculations over veteran Suresh Raina’s future in the yellow army.
Yes, if reports are to be believed, then for the first time in the history of IPL, Chennai Super Kings might not retain their star player Suresh Raina. As franchises are permitted to retain only four players, Suresh Raina might miss out, considering the franchise would be looking at building a core team for the future.
Meanwhile, the skipper of CSK, MS Dhoni may be retained by CSK ahead of the mega-auction, considering his experience and his contribution to the franchise.
