The Chennai Super Kings will be looking for someone to fill Suresh Raina’s boots in the 2020 Indian Premier League batting department. Raina is the second highest IPL run scorer and has been an integral part of the CSK team setup for several years. . This year you will miss it after traveling home from the UAE due to some personal reasons.
Raina has often stabilized the boat for CSK in the past when they were in a precarious position while simultaneously giving impetus to innings with her hit-fill batting. CSK would be hopeful that someone would take on the task in the thirteenth season of the IPL.
Former India hitter K Srikkanth believes this is the ideal opportunity for Murali Vijay to redeem himself at the IPL. Vijay returned to CSK in 2018 after participating in other teams such as KXIP and Delhi Daredevils. Srikkanth says he could be the one to take Raina’s place in the hitting department.

“Don’t forget, Vijay is a great player, he can start with Shane Watson. it’s a great opportunity for you to redeem yourself at the IPL. He has led camps like KXIP. Having played at that level, he would be eager to redeem himself. “

Watson also spoke about Raina’s departure, stating that it would be difficult to replace the batter next season due to his phenomenal record in the IPL. But he also feels that Vijay is a capable hitter who has what it takes to perform for CSK in the United Arab Emirates.
“No doubt he [Raina] it’s a huge loss, but we have someone like Murali Vijay who is a weapons player. In T20 cricket, he hasn’t had many chances in recent years. But he’s a really good hitter. I was sitting on the sidelines last year, I could have more opportunities this year, ”Watson said.
