Former Indian cricketers MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina are back in competitive cricket activity with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they open their IPL 2021 fight against the Delhi Capitals (DC).
The duo has been the great players of CSK ever since the opening edition of the IPL and fans are absolutely over cloud nine to see their heroes back in yellow. CSK did have an average season last year, but with Suresh Raina back in their ranks, they will be positive of putting up a better show.
Fans on Twitter react to seeing MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina in the CSK yellow
Watching MS Dhoni play is a sight worth seeing and to have Suresh Raina back with him is just the toppings on the cake for CSK fans. They took to Twitter to speak their excitement and this is what they had to state:
Typical #CSK team. Bat all the way down to 11 and at least 6 bowling options. Looking forward to seeing Dhoni and Raina play together again. #Yellove

Story of the say to start with: no place for Steve Smith in #DC’s playing XI. In the spotlight will be Suresh Raina, back with CSK, and Ravindra Jadeja, back from injury

All the talks around Dhoni and others, but I would be genuinely happy to see Raina in full flow. Man used to be our soul. #IPL

Until DC are concerned, there are quite a couple of things to look forward to from their camp. Especially, they have a new captain in Rishabh Pant for this IPL season as Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out with a shoulder injury that he continuous on national duty.
With the Proteas duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje currently in quarantine, the England pairing of Chris Woakes and Tom Curran will be making their IPL debut for DC. This could be a difficult game for them as Rabada and Nortje were among their main bowlers last season.
However, the toss of the coin fell in the DC captain’s favour, and Pant put MS Dhoni and his men in to bat first. With the Wankhede Stadium conventionally being a chasing ground, CSK will need to put a daunting total on the board.
Suresh Raina has been a productive run-scorer for CSK in recent years and his form will be crucial to CSK’s hopes of posting a huge score on the board. What MS Dhoni has to offer for CSK will also be fascinating to see as he approaches the twilight of his career.
