Major IPL records of Suresh Raina
2021 was probably the last year we were seeing Raina playing in IPL as in the 2022 mega auction no team was interested to buy him and he went unsold. It was an end of an era without Raina in IPL. His previous team CSK also showed no interest in buying him and this was the most disheartening thing. To relive the legacy of Mr. IPL we will see major IPL records of Suresh Raina.
