I Think CSK Has A Strong Ability To Work As A Team – Suresh Raina

While the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will begin the IPL 2019 as the defending champions, the star CSK cricketer Suresh Raina is confident about his side for the new season.

After completing their two-year suspension, CSK returned to the IPL in the previous year. Through their dominant performances, CSK won the IPL 2018 which was their third IPL crown, joint most in IPL history (Mumbai Indians has also won three IPL trophies).

The IPL 2019 will begin on 23 March when CSK will face against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, (Chennai).

Though the 32-year-old Suresh Raina is out of the national side, he is looking forward to the upcoming IPL season. Besides that, he is confident about the defending champions as he has full faith in the teamwork.

Recently, Suresh Raina told Times Now, “Going good, looking forward to the games. I have been focusing on my fitness and also spending quite some time at the nets for practice sessions. I think CSK has a strong ability to work as a team. We can hold on to long and solid partnerships. Also, we have cricketers with varied talents and that has worked in our favour.”
