Dhoni will decide on Raina’s return to CSK: Srinivasan

TIL Desk Sports/ Suresh Raina is like a “son” to him but Chennai Super Kings owner Narayanswami Srinivasan on Wednesday said the all-rounder’s return to the side this IPL season after an unanticipated pull out would be decided by the team management led by skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Raina had last week left the CSK camp in Dubai amid 13 COVID-19 cases, including national team seamer Deepak Chahar, but there was some controversy regarding an alleged breach of bio bubble, something the player has categorically denied.

The former BCCI president was initially furious with Raina’s departure but softened his stance later. The player also seemed to have spoken to Srinivasan and called him a ‘father figure’ besides indicating that he might come back.
