Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper, MS Dhoni caught up with former CSK teammate, Suresh Raina following their victory against five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. CSK registered a comfortable six-wicket win over MI to move up to second position on the IPL 2023 points table.
The two former teammates could be seen walking together and chatting away after CSK’s win. Raina represented CSK for 12 editions of the IPL after joining them in the inaugural 2008 season for INR 2.60 crore. He turned up in the famous Yellow jersey throughout his IPL career apart from the 2016 and 2017 seasons, when he represented the now-defunct Gujarat Lions.
