In a conversation with Dainik Jagran, Suresh Raina revealed the reason behind that decision. “We had already made up our minds to retire on 15/8/20. Dhoni’s jersey number is 7, and mine is 3. Combining them, we get 73. And on August 15, 2020, India completed 73 years of independence, so there couldn’t have been a better time to sign off. Dhoni began his career on December 23 in 2004, against Bangladesh at Chittagong, while I made my debut on July 30 in 2005 against Sri Lanka. Both of us almost began together in international cricket, remained together at CSK and so we now retired together and will continue to play in IPL together.”Both MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina will soon be in action for the Chennai Super Kings in the second phase of IPL, which commences on September 19.
