Harbhajan Singh had also decided to skip the IPL 13.
Amid various rumors and speculations around Suresh Raina’s sudden exit from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has on Tuesday (September 29) confirmed that there is no comeback for their batting mainstay and removed his name from their official website.
Raina stunned one and all with his decision to suddenly leave the CSK camp just before the start of the ongoing 13th edition of the IPL 2020 citing the ‘personal reasons’, which left a huge hole in their middle-order and that is visible in their standing in the tournament so far.
Ahead of the IPL 13, CSK star was gearing up for the tournament and also attended the team's one-week training camp in Chennai before flying to the United Arab Emirates with the three-time champions, but 13 COVID-19 positive cases in the CSK camp saw him return to India.

Well, Raina’s hastily returned from the UAE has sparked a controversy with many speculating that all not being well between him and the CSK. However, the left-hander himself clarified that there is nothing like that while hinting that he might return to the UAE at some point during the IPL 2020.
However, the latest development is suggesting something different as the CSK removed Raina’s name from the franchise’s official website from the team section – which made it clear that he will not be making a comeback to the CSK at least for ongoing IPL 2020.
Even Harbhajan Singh’s name has been also removed by the franchise.

Noteworthy, CSK are clearly feeling Raina’s absence in the ongoing tournament as they have so far won just one match of their three games and are sitting in seventh position in the IPL 2020 Points Table.
