Two of the core members of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), captain MS Dhoni and vice-captain Suresh Raina, announced retirement from international cricket together on Saturday. Raina was clear about his decision and joined his friend for the new innings.

"I choose to join you in this journey. Thank you India.", Raina's post came after Dhoni told fans to consider him retired from 17:29 on August 15.
