Uttar Pradesh-based cricketer Suresh Raina is hailed as one of the best middle-order batsmen in Indian white-ball cricket. Having played in the middle order in numerous matches between 2005 and 2018, he is credited with scoring match-deciding runs and giving India many victories. Especially in the 2011 World Cup won 28 years later, the then coach Gary Christen would still say that his crucial runs in the quarter-final against Australia and the semi-final against Pakistan played a key role in winning the trophy.
Having played a major role in such big victories, he was also vital in the Indian team’s victory in the Champions Trophy held in England in 2013. He is also hailed as one of the finest fielders India has ever produced to break up opposing partnerships as a part-time bowler. Similarly, he has played for the Chennai Super Kings team since 2008 in the IPL series, which shines as the number one T20 series in the world today.

Detached Raina:
Especially, Tamil Nadu fans celebrated him as Chinnathala, who acted as Captain Dhoni’s commander for Chennai to become the 2nd most successful team by winning 4 trophies. He was also the highest run-scorer in the IPL till 2018 and is hailed by experts as Mr. IPL. As such, the Chennai management took advantage of the fact that he lost his form and batted moderately in 2021 and left him with an injury.
So all the fans severely criticized the Chennai administration for acting without thanks. However, understanding the reality, he did not give up and took the avatar of a commentator and supported Chennai by blowing the whistle. However, this year, for the first time in the history of the IPL series, many fans are still talking openly that the reason why Chennai left with 10 defeats in the league round is the reason.

Affection of Chennai:
Accordingly Chennai has never won any trophy without him in history. Similarly, in the 2020 and 2022 seasons without him, Chennai did not even qualify for the play round. Even though the team management removed him, who is considered to be the hero of Chennai, the fans and people of Tamil Nadu never removed him from their minds. For example, Suresh Raina was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Wales in recognition of his contribution to cricket for India.

Then Chennai always has a special place in my mind. His statement that this is my 2nd home touched the hearts of many Tamil Nadu fans. In this case, Suresh Raina, who has not played cricket for a long time because he retired from international cricket and did not play for Chennai, has now resumed cricket training in his hometown.
Fans love:
What is special about it is that Suresh Raina, who did not forget the team and the fans even though the Chennai management forgot him, took the training wearing the Chennai team’s training jersey. Seeing that, the Chennai fans are again blasting the management of the Chennai Super Kings team on social media saying that they have left Vishwamika without thanking him.
