Speaking to ANI, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan clarified that it would be impossible for the franchise to think about the comeback of the seasoned campaigner as the latter made himself unavailable and the team management respects his space.
CSK CEO elaborated, “See, we cannot look at Raina because he made himself unavailable and we respect his decision and his space. We are not thinking about it.”
When asked about the heartbreak among the fans, the CEO promised that the team is willing to make a strong comeback and that the fans would have the smiles back on their faces.
