Chennai hammered a lacklustre Punjab outfit by 10 wickets on Sunday, October 4 in the 18th match of the ongoing Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season. On the back of their openers Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis, the MS Dhoni-led side overhauled Punjab’s total with ease after losing the toss and being asked to field first. With the win, Chennai jumped two spots to be placed at No. 6 in the updated Dream11 IPL points table of the season.

Seasoned Chennai campaigner Suresh Raina opted himself out of the ongoing Dream11 IPL 2020 season, citing personal reasons. It now appears that the cricketer is still following the developments of the franchise, as evidenced from his recent social media posts, even though his future looks bleak with the team. After Chennai’s thumping win over Punjab, Suresh Raina took to his social media accounts to congratulate the MS Dhoni-led side for a “great win”.  

On Sunday, October 4, i.e. moments after the Chennai vs Punjab’s one-sided affair, Suresh Raina took to Twitter and expressed his jubilations and love for the franchise’s latest win. Interestingly, his tweet came at a time when his own future looks unsettled with MS Dhoni and co. In late September, the Chennai franchise removed Suresh Raina’s name from their official website, thus indicating that the cricketer will not be a part of their side for the next couple of seasons. Recently, Raina also unfollowed the team on Instagram, sparking a new set of speculations on his association with the MS Dhoni-led team.
