Suresh Raina IPL 2022 Team – One of the best utility cricketers in white-ball cricket for India, Suresh Raina is referred to as Mr IPL. He could bowl, bat at the most difficult position, an electric fielder and what not. He has made IPL his own for the good part of 12 years from 2008 to 2019. He represented only 2 teams at the IPL level so far, in Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Lions.
Suresh Raina was not retained by CSK due to his poor season in 2021. It was expected that the star player, with base price of 2 Crore, would get a bid from any of the 10 teams including CSK. In 2022 IPL Auction, no team seemed interested in the veteran Suresh Raina as the southpaw didn’t get a single bid. Suresh Raina has been roped in by Star Sports for commentary stint in IPL 2022.
Suresh Raina batted at the top of the order in #3 position almost all through his career for CSK and GL which allowed him to play a long innings as he had more time to bat. But the fact that he gathered runs consistently at a steady pace shows the speciality of the southpaw.
Suresh Raina is a very handy bowler with his part time off spinners. He has a pretty good economy rate for a part time bowler.
Suresh Raina was an integral part of CSK alongside MS Dhoni since the very first season. He has won 4 IPL trophies for CSK and has a huge fan following. Its sad that his career had to end at the age of 35 but his legacy wont be forgotten forever. When CSK was banned from playing IPL for 2 seasons in 2016 and 2017, Suresh Raina went on to captain Gujarat Lions and took them to playoffs in 2016.
