Mr. IPL Suresh Raina will be in the auction pool for the first time after 2008. He was picked by the franchise in the first-ever IPL auction and since then, he has become one of the faces of the Chennai Super Kings. The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tag/ipl-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL 2022 mega auction</a> is set to take place in Bengaluru on February 12 and 13.

The last time Raina played for any other IPL franchise was in 2016 and 2017 when CSK got banned. He represented and captained the Gujarat Lions for two seasons and came back to CSK in 2018 when he got retained by the franchise alongside MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja.

Raina has been one of the most successful batters in the history of the league and is on number four in the list of leading run-scorers in the league, behind Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and Rohit Sharma. He has played 205 IPL games and has scored 5528 runs in those games at an average of 32.52.

Here are 3 teams that might target Suresh Raina in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL 2022</a> mega auction:

Chennai Super Kings is the one franchise that believes in backing players even if they underperform. Raina has played many match-winning knocks and won many games for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/csk-chennai-super-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CSK</a> in the IPL. But, his performances have not been up to the standards in the last two seasons.

Raina is not playing any cricket at the moment and IPL is the only tournament that he plays as he has already announced his retirement from international cricket. He has been a household name in Chennai and he has gradually earned that respect while playing for the city. Hence, releasing him was a big decision by the franchise.

Nevertheless, we can again see him playing for Chennai. The two seasons that he played were disasters for the southpaw as he never looked in touch. He has a good amount of cricket left in him. Hopefully, CSK will rope him in the auction and we will again see Suresh Raina winning games for Chennai.

Chennai is Suresh Raina’s second home but his actual home is Lucknow. It is a big possibility that he may be seen representing his home city in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League.

He has played international cricket for a long time and was the first Indian to score a T20I century and at that time scoring a hundred in the 20-over format was a huge deal. That is what Lucknow needs, the experience. Lucknow has s drafted KL Rahul in their side but he is still young and they will need an experienced player who can be the guiding light for his teammates.

The southpaw is 35-years old and can easily give three to four years to any franchise and that will be the time when a new franchise like <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/lucknow-super-giants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lucknow Super Giants</a> will build their core. Backing the core of the team is the mantra of success for the most successful IPL teams like Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. It will be a bit interesting to see if we will see Suresh Rina in the colors of Super Giants.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rr-rajasthan-royals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rajasthan Royals</a> are a franchise that spends most of its capital on young players. But even they know that will need a mixture of both experienced and young players for the betterment of their results. They have retained Jos Butler, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson but no player from the middle-order.

Hence, they will need a solid middle-order batting option who can shift gears effortlessly and Raina can be that type of a player for them. He is a team man and every cricket team needs a player like him to get the players to gel up in a short time. Sanju Samson has not had a great time last year as a captain for the franchise so they can find a captaincy candidate in the form of Suresh Raina.

Raina brings so many dimensions of the game to the mix as he can win matches with the bat, he can bowl crucial overs and he is also a dependable fielder. Overall,  he is a complete T20 package with so many qualities in him.
