The tweet, which was shared with a collage of the cricketer’s many shades in the yellow jersey, read:“Super Thanks for all the Yellove memories, Chinna Thala! #SuperkingForever.”The 35-year-old was part of the CSK squad that won the IPL trophy in the UAE last season. However, he had a poor run, managing only 160 runs in 12 matches at an average of 17.77 and a strike rate of 125.Suresh Raina’s incredible IPL numbers The southpaw made his IPL debut in 2008, and barring the two years when CSK were suspended, he was an indispensable part of the franchise along with MS Dhoni. He has featured in 205 IPL matches and has scored 5528 runs at an average of 32.51 and a strike rate of 136.76, with one hundred and 39 fifties.The former India batter is at No. 4 on the list of players with the most runs in the IPL. Only Virat Kohli (6283), Shikhar Dhawan (5784) and Rohit Sharma (5611) have scored more runs than the left-hander in the history of the T20 league.
