Suresh Raina has pulled out of IPL 2020 due to personal reasons, CSK CEO KS Viswanathan said via a tweet. The development comes as a major blow for CSK franchise as Suresh Raina has been a mainstay in the CSK batting line-up. Raina had trained with the franchise in Chennai before departing for UAE.
Raina’s return to India comes as another big blow to the Super Kings camp from which at least 10 members – including an India player – tested positive for Covid-19 after a test on Thursday. It is understood there was only one player among those who tested positive, the others being net bowlers and support staff members. As a result, they have postponed the start of their training to next month while most other teams have hit the nets already in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
