In a video shared on CSK’s Twitter handle, Suresh Raina said, “It feels amazing to be back with MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings.
It’s always nice to contribute for a player who has done so much for the players , Who have done so much for every person.
It is good to always be behind and wear this yellow color, it is a matter of pride that I have cherished it with my whole life. “
He went on to say, “I was a bit disappointed to lose the match. It could have been better, but as I said,
one should always come back and Whistle Podu does it! It would have been better if we had scored 15-20 runs,
but I think Is that we bowled better in the middle overs, in the next few days we will have some good practice sessions where we can learn what to do better. ”
Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw helped the Delhi Capitals chase the target of 189 runs set by the Dhoni-led team. Shikhar scored 85 and Prithvi Shaw scored 72 runs.
