Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina are known to be close friends. From playing for India to representing CSK together for over a decade, the duo has played most of their cricket alongside each other. After pulling out of the IPL in the 2020 edition, Raina is back in the ‘Yellow Jersey’ for the 2021 season.
The duo is playing together against Delhi Capitals which has made their fans delighted about the same. Some hardcore CSK fans took to Twitter and expressed their delight to see the duo play together.
Typical #CSK team. Bat all the way down to 11 and at least 6 bowling options. Looking forward to seeing Dhoni and Raina play together again. #Yellove

Hey girl, my love for you is deeper than CSK's batting depth.

Story of the say to start with: no place for Steve Smith in #DC’s playing XI. In the spotlight will be Suresh Raina, back with CSK, and Ravindra Jadeja, back from injury

All the talks around Dhoni and others, but I would be genuinely happy to see Raina in full flow. Man used to be our soul. #IPL

Suresh Raina has a prolific record in the Indian Premier League and CSK are banking upon him to change their fortunes in the IPL 2021. The southpaw has got off to a blazing in the tournament.
Chennai lost some early wickets and were reeling at 7-2 before Raina turned back the clock and stroked a scintillating half-century. CSK are 143-6 at the time of writing and are looking good to set a decent total on the board. The fans, however, won’t be able to see Raina and Dhoni bat together as the former was unfortunately run out for a 36 ball 54. MS Dhoni too couldn’t make an impact and was dismissed for two ball duck
As for the Delhi Capitals, they are without the services of Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada as the South Africans are still in quarantine. In their absence, DC went in with the English duo of Tom Curran and Chris Woakes. Both will be making their debut for the franchise. All eyes will be on Rishabh Pant who is playing his first game as a skipper.
