In what was shocking news to all Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans, their ‘Chinna Thala’ Suresh Raina returned to India citing personal reasons and will not play in the upcoming IPL 2020 which begins in UAE from September 19.
This blow came after 2 of the franchise players and 11 staff members tested positive for Coronavirus, leading to their quarantine being extended by a week. But nothing can be compared to losing their vice-captain for the upcoming season. Raina is the second-highest all-time run-getter in the IPL and one of the best batsmen in the history of the tournament.
He has held the batting together with his mix of attacking cricket with a blend of style and his leadership and bowling skills always came in handy for MS Dhoni across the years, something that he will miss dearly.
But with him missing the IPL 2020, the CSK franchise needs to find a suitable replacement for Suresh Raina, and Team COC picks five such players who the franchise can give a thought on.
Here are the 5 potential replacements for Suresh Raina in CSK for IPL 13
