Ahead of the game, Chennai Super Kings’ Chinna Thalla Suresh Raina set the tongues wagging by liking a controversial tweet posted by a fan. So here’s what happened. A couple of days ago, the official account of the Indian Premier League shared a video where Suresh Raina was seen tying Rishabh Pant’s shoelaces during the Qualifier 2 between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals.

The video was obviously loved by all CSK fans and others. Netizens were quite impressed with Suresh Raina’s sportsmanship and posted tweets which praised Raina.

The netizen was not only happy with the like but also thanked Raina for the gesture via a tweet.

The last time Raina donned Indian colours was in 2018 for T20I against England. But Raina could not perform and was dropped from the team. The left-hander was dropped from the domestic team as well for Uttar Pradesh. Akshdeep Nath stepped into his shoes as the captain for the side. The left-hander has had a fair bit of a season in the IPL 2019 as he has amassed 375 runs in 16 matches and has an average of 25. His strike rate is 125 runs in the IPL 2019.
