Former India captain MS Dhoni and former player Suresh Raina share an amazing bond on and off the field. Even the fans are aware of the bond and they do play for the same franchise in the Indian premier League _ Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, recently, Raina shared a funny incident that happened during a game.

Raina told Gaurav Kapur, on the recent episode of 22 Yarns Podcast uploaded on Spotify, “Yes, there were mixed emotions. I remember we were playing in Rajkot and, Ashwin was bowling’ McCullum was at the non-striker end; I was batting; Dhoni bhai was keeping; Faf du Plessis was standing at first slip. It felt like we were playing the Kanga League of my neighborhood! (chuckles).”

He also revealed how MS Dhoni welcomed him. “When I went in to bat, Dhoni bhai said, ‘Aao aao captain sahab, aao’, (Welcome captain) and I said ‘Aare hai are hai bhai, zara peeche ho thoda!’ (I am coming brother, move aside first!). This was all very fun,” Raina shared.

Suresh Raina also shared another funny incident from a T20I in Ireland when MS Dhoni carried drinks for the left-handed batsman as he was not part of the team.

Raina recalled: “I remember one moment. Dhoni bhai thought that I often ask a lot for gloves and bats while batting, so he brought the whole kit bag to the ground and said: ‘Take whatever you want, don’t call me again’. I think I was batting alongside Rahul and we both had hit fifties. He (Dhoni) said ‘I won’t come again, it’s very cold out here’. (chuckles).”

“I still said, ‘Do one thing, bring a grip as well’. And he replied: ‘Bohot bade waala hai tu, tu rukja, paani pi, mai leke aata hu’. So it was that kind of fun. I thought to myself that I’ll take full revenge that day,” he concluded.

However, they both will soon be seen playing for CSK when the IPL 2021 resumes in the UAE during the September-October window as well.
