Suresh Raina in the INR 2 crore bracket at the IPL 2022 Auction

For the first time since the inaugural season, Raina will go under the hammer at the IPL 2022 Auction. Raina, a long-standing member and vice-captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), was released by the franchise ahead of the auction.

Raina has not played competitive cricket since October 2, 2021, having played for CSK against the Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi. An injury then kept him out of the following game and CSK chose to continue with Robin Uthappa instead until the summit clash.

Raina will head into the IPL 2022 Auction in the top bracket of INR 2 crore. The auction is set to take place on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru.
