Seasoned batsman Suresh Raina will realise what he is missing out on by skipping the Indian Premier League and his absence won’t have an impact on the Chennai Super Kings, team owner N Srinivasan has said.
In an interview with Outlook magazine, Srinivasan shared his views on Raina’s sudden decision to leave the CSK team and head back to India.
The 75-year-old said that CSK were confident of their chances in the 13th edition of the IPL despite the departure of their highest run-getter.
“The season has not begun yet and Raina will certainly realise what he is missing and certainly all the money he is going to lose,” Srinivasan, a former BCCI and International Cricket Council chief, was quoted as saying.
CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan had confirmed on Saturday that Raina had left the team and flown back to India due to “personal reasons”.
