The later diagnosis revealed that CSK’s most dependable batsman has suffered a calf injury. The injury has ruled out Suresh Raina for around 7-8 days which means he will miss out on the next two matches of Chennai Super Kings. CSK is scheduled to play Kings XI Punjab at Mohali on Sunday (15th April) and Rajasthan Royals at Pune on Friday (20th April).

The absence of Raina will be a major concern for Chennai who has already lost many players to injuries. They lost New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner before the IPL began. Kedar Jadhav was ruled out of the season with an injury in the first match. Murali Vijay was injured in training, Du Plessis is nursing a finger injury and now even Suresh Raina will miss out.
