Xtra Time Web Desk: Veteran cricketer Suresh Raina went unsold in the two days of IPL Mega Auction 2022. It took everyone by surprise keeping in mind, Raina’s splendid performance in CSK over the years. Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Vishwanath explains why Suresh Raina wasn’t picked by the franchise, and went unsold for the IPL season 2022.
“Raina has been one of the most consistent performers for CSK for the last 12 years. Of course, it was very difficult for us, not to have Raina but at the same time, you should also understand that the team composition depends on the form and kind of team which any team would like to have”, he said.
“So that’s one of the reasons why we thought he may not fit into this team,” he further added.
He is the fourth-highest run-scorer in IPL history with 5,528 runs from 205 games. In his IPL career, he has registered 4,687 runs for CSK.
