4. Dhoni-Raina’s partnership

Chennai Super Kings fandom is nothing short of a religion and two of its most revered gods are MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina. They call MS Dhoni – Thala (Captain) and Suresh Raina – Chinna Thala (Little captain). These two played only for Chennai in the first eight years.

The two-year suspension of Chennai meant a split-up of the dream pair. Raina went to Gujarat Lions while Dhoni was picked by the Rising Pune Supergiants team. This year, both will be back playing for Chennai.

The duo will obviously be the crowd favorite. Watching them bat together in yellow will be a treat. There are indications that Dhoni will be batting at number four. That will mean a lot of Dhoni-Raina partnerships if it comes true.
