'I have a feeling that Suresh Raina will be back playing the IPL,' said Deep Dasgupta. Raina has pulled out of IPL 2020 due to personal reasons
Bengaluru: Former India cricketer Deep Dasgupta feels Suresh Raina will return to the UAE to play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020).
Raina opted out of the cash-rich Twenty20 tournament due to personal reasons. He had travelled with CSK to Dubai. However, he returned to India.

After Raina, offspinner Harbhajan Singh too withdrew from IPL 2020 due to personal reasons. The MS Dhoni-led CSK are now without two of their key players.
The three-time IPL champions have not named replacements for the duo. Former India stumper Dasgupta feels Raina will be back in the CSK fold to play this season.
“I have a feeling that Suresh Raina will be back playing the IPL. He might miss out on the first few games because of the quarantine rules and all but I have a feeling that Suresh will be back,” Dasgupta told espncricinfo.
“I won’t be surprised if they don’t pick a replacement for Suresh,” the former India wicketkeeper added.
