Except a 54 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Suresh Raina's performances in the IPL this year were not so good. However, Raina was sensational with the bat today.

CSK lost Shane Watson early and they desperately needed someone to support Rayudu. Raina batted beautifully and played some fabulous shots. He stitched a partnership of 71 with Rayudu and even after his dismissal, continued to bat brilliantly.

Raina batted till the end and went on to score a knock of 75 from 47 deliveries. Provided Suresh Raina continues to play such knocks, then CSK are bound to post much higher totals.
