The suspension of CSK and Rajasthan Royals for two years (2016 and 2017) due to their association with the spot-fixing controversy remains one of the biggest controversies in IPL history. During this period, Raina captained the now-defunct Gujarat Lions, while MS Dhoni played for Rising Pune Supergiant.

However, the duo reunited at CSK in 2018 and played pivotal roles in leading the team’s successful comeback. Their partnership inspired CSK’s triumphant run in the IPL, highlighting their resilience and leadership qualities amidst adversity. He revealed:

“We were players, we didn’t know what happened. Then in 2016, I went, I was the captain of Gujarat. he went to Pune. Whatever happened, it must have been owner vs owner. No, we, the players, were unaware of anything, our phones are taken away during the matches. As players, we can’t do anything,” Raina said.

“Anti-corruption is very strong in India. You can’t even think about it. You will be jailed. Nothing was proved (Rajasthan players banned for spot-fixing). But every player has his way. My motivation was always playing for the nation.”

He added: “When we got to know about it, we were shocked. We were playing the final against MI. We were banned for 2 years. When we came back, we won it. We were missing it.”

“Some people were saying it was an old men’s army. But, all the oldies came out swinging their swords. Our top 6 performed well. All of them, I think, scored over 500. Dad’s Army. We were all with our daughters,” he added.
