The southpaw said that he loves the company of Jadeja and he’ll like to spend time with his horses in the farmhouse. "I would love to take Ravindra Jadeja. I love his company, he is fun. I would just love to spend the lockdown in his farmhouse, ride his horse, and maybe ask him to teach me how to ride the horse. We can have the best food ever there," said the three-time (Indian Premier League) IPL winner.

Raina also lauded the Indian all-rounder’s performance in international cricket. "I love what he is doing in his international career, he puts in a lot of hard work. Hope he performs more for the country," he added.

On being asked to name an overseas player too, Raina named the flamboyant Caribbean all-rounder. "I think I would take DJ Bravo. In the lockdown, you really need to dance in the house and I think he will do whatever he wants to do to make you happy. He will make you dance to different songs, even make new songs, so I would love to be with him too among overseas players," said Raina.

Meanwhile, just like other cricket tournaments, IPL 2020 has also been postponed owing to the coronavirus. However, some reports suggest that the T20 extravaganza can take place in October this year in place of ICC T20 World Cup 2020.
