Best Chennai Super Kings (CSK) XI that played for India at the international level
There have been a lot of CSK players who have gone on to represent India.
Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina is one of the icons of the IPL and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The Uttar Pradesh left-hander has been a premier run-getter in the IPL. For a long time, he was leading the run charts as well but loss in form over the last few seasons has seen him slip to No. 2.
Raina has played 164 matches for CSK and has aggregated 4527 runs (which is the most by any CSK player) across 10 seasons for them. He averages 33.28 and has a strike-rate of 137.34. Raina was already an established Indian player by the time the IPL started. He had already played a few ODIs and had featured in India’s maiden T20I as well.
In 2010, the southpaw even made his Test debut and became the first Indian player to register a ton in all three formats. Post-2015-16 season, Raina fell out of favour. He did return briefly but couldn’t make a big impact. He last played for India in July 2018.
