Chennai Super Kings (CSK) predicted playing XI for their first game in IPL 2020
As soon as clearance is obtained from the Indian Government regarding moving IPL overseas for the current edition, the preparations are expected to get underway as quickly as possible.
3. Suresh Raina
Popularly regarded as Mr IPL by many cricketing pundits, Raina has been one of the most consistent batsmen throughout the 12 years of the tournament. He is the all-time second-highest run-scorer in IPL and has scored more than 350 runs in every season since the inaugural edition. His fixed batting position at No.3 has also been a hallmark of his IPL batting career.
Though not present in the current scheme of things for the international matches, Raina is a beast in the franchise-based tournament. He is capable of taking away the game from the opposition completely on his own as was evidenced when he single-handedly almost won the Qualifier 2 against Kings XI Punjab in the year 2014 by scoring 87 runs off just 24 balls. His contributions have often been silent but significant and remarkable.
In 193 matches, he has scored 5368 runs at an average of 33.34 and a strike rate of 137.11 runs per 100 deliveries. He has a single hundred and 38 fifties to his name. He has also remained not out on 28 different occasions.
