Srinivasan\u2019s strict comments came after Raina\u2019s sudden decision to give the IPL a miss shook the already rattled CSK \u2013 due to two of their cricketers and a few other members testing positive for Covid-19 ahead of the 13th edition of IPL which is slated to take place in the UAE.<\/p>\n
Reacting for the first time ever since senior batsman Suresh Raina decided to pull out of IPL 2020 and flew back to India citing\u2018personal reasons\u2019, Chennai Super Kings owner and former BCCI president N Srinivasan on Sunday said the left-hander will regret his decision and would want to come back.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe season has not begun yet and Raina will certainly realize what he is missing and certainly all the money (a salary of 11 crores per season) he is going to lose,\u201d Srinivasan told Outlook. The CSK owner said if someone was unhappy then he won\u2019t force anyone to stay back.<\/p>\n
The report added that Raina was miffed with the hotel room he got from the CSK management in Dubai ever since he landed with the squad on August 21. Raina\u2019s room reportedly did not have \u2018proper balconies\u2019 which made him feel claustrophobic in the strict bio-secure environment.<\/p>\n
The left-hander who announced his retirement from international cricket minutes after MS Dhoni on August 15, wanted a similar room like CSK captain MS Dhoni. While various reports suggesting that Raina may have returned home due to the demise of his paternal uncle, a few others claimed the CSK squad members testing COVID-19 positive made him insecure about his own health.<\/p>\n
\u201cCricketers are like prima donnas \u2026 like the temperamental actors of the olden days. Chennai Super Kings have always been like a family and all seniors players have learned to co-exist,\u201d said Srinivasan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
