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.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
