Suresh Raina was often known for his consistency and impact in IPL during his playing days. Batting at number three he was one of the biggest trump cards for the team.
During his time with CSK, Raina played the role of a vice-captain for the majority of the time. Even after hanging up his boots, the southpaw has spoken about the franchise in high regards and has often expressed his love for the Yellow army. The bond between Raina and the five-time IPL Champions has apparently been unbreakable and a special one.
