Suresh Raina did not sell because of this?
Let us tell you that after the mega auction, CSK CEO Kashi Vishwanath said on not bidding for Raina, saying, 'Raina has been one of the consistent performers for CSK for the last 12 years. Of course, Raina's absence was very difficult for us. But at the same time, you should also understand that the composition of the squad depends on the form and type of team that any team would like to have. So we thought he might not fit in this team.
