Raina had earlier retired from international cricket on 15th August 2020. Raina’s unexpected retirement also came shortly after former Indian captain and close friend Mahendra Singh Dhoni announced his retirement from international career. Even though he retired from the international level, he continued to play in the IPL.
The player, who withdrew from the 2020 season of IPL due to personal reasons, was part of Chennai Super Kings who lifted the title in 2021. But CSK dropped him from the team after this season. Last season the player was in the IPL auction but was unsold due to lack of demand. A break from competitive cricket after the 2021 IPL has resulted in Raina going undemanded in the auction.
At the same time, Raina, who shared a video of resuming training on Instagram the other day, captioned it as ‘first love’. Raina’s post suggests that he will return to domestic cricket this season and play for Uttar Pradesh. Anyway, the star’s post and the news that he might be back on the cricket field are giving fans a lot of excitement.
