Suresh Raina “Lost Loyalty Of MS Dhoni”: Simon Doull On Former CSK Star Going Unsold In IPL Auction 2022

Suresh Reina will miss the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the first time since the start of the game in 2008. Raina was sacked by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the IPL auction and the two-day event in Bengaluru last week remained unsold. Raina has been a part of CSK since the inaugural edition of the tournament, except for two seasons (2016 and 2017) when the team was banned from the rich league. He has managed the now-defunct Gujarat Lions for two seasons.

Having skipped the 2020 tournament due to personal reasons, Suresh Raina has endured a difficult performance in the 2021 IPL and missed the final stages of the game with a knee injury.

Speaking of Raina not being sold at auction, former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull listed “two or three” reasons why CSK, along with other franchises, ignored the seasoned batsman at auction.

“It has two or three parts. He lost his loyalty in the UAE and we don’t need to go on (and talk about) why that happened. There’s enough speculation about that. He lost his team loyalty and he lost MS Dhoni’s loyalty . Once you do, you’re less likely to be welcomed back,” Doull said in an interaction with Cricbuzz.

Raina, who announced her international retirement on the same day as Dhoni, is the fourth-leading scorer in IPL history with 5,528 runs in 205 games.

Raina has also won four IPL titles, all with CSK, including last season.


On the other hand, CSK has rebuilt a strong team and managed to retain some tried and tested performers such as Dwayne Bravo, Deepak Chahar, Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu.

The four-time winner was led by MS Dhoni, who was blocked ahead of the auction alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
