Why is Suresh Raina not playing IPL?
Raina was not bought by any franchise in this year's IPL auction. Raina played for CSK in 12 seasons out of 15. However, Raina was sidelined by CSK due to his recent form with the bat. Speaking on CSK's YouTube channel, CEO Kasi Viswanath stated the reason why Chennai did not buy Suresh Raina. He said, "Raina has been one of the most consistent performers for CSK for the last 12 years. Of course, it was very difficult for us, no 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 so that’s one of the reasons why we thought he may not fit into this team."
