Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player Suresh Raina has sent his good wishes to the team after CSK won their second match against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium.
Raina expressed his joy in the latest video posted by Chennai Super Kings’ Twitter handle over the wholesome performance of his former team. He was overjoyed with the wins of CSK at home and away in Wankhede. “It is good to see that Chennai won in Chennai, and they have played well in Mumbai, too. Now the tournament is becoming interesting,” Raina said in the video posted on CSK’s Twitter handle.
CSK cantered home by seven wickets against the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match played on Saturday. With the all-round performance of Chennai’s bowlers and batters, they won with ease against five-time champion Mumbai by 7 wickets. Despite playing in Mumbai’s home stadium, “yelloves” were there in large numbers to support their team.
Ajinkya Rahane displayed explosive batting, hitting Mumbai’s bowler for long runs. Rahane’s contribution in the last match was similar to what Raina used to do for CSK. Raina also appreciated the efforts of Ravindra Jadeja, who has been consistent in fielding.
Former cricketer said, “Good to see Ajinkya Rahane scoring 50, as well as Ravindra Jadeja, what a catch he took.” Raina and Dhoni were an iconic duo in CSK’s golden history, and Raina seemed excited about Dhoni’s recent performance in the death overs.
“I think the overall performance of CSK has been spot on. And with Dhoni’s sixes, it is going really well. All the best, whistle podu!” added Raina. Chennai will play its next match of the IPL 2023 against Rajasthan Royals at their home venue, MA Chidambaram Stadium, on Wednesday. Both teams would be boosted after winning their respective games.
CSK has jumped to fourth position in the points table with two wins, a loss, and four points. Whereas, RR is at the top of the table with two wins in three matches, a loss, and four points.
