New Delhi: Among the big player who went unsold in the IPL 2022 maga auction, Suresh Raina is the biggest name. However, fans on Wednesday on twitter started requesting Gujarat Titans to give place Raina in the team. This was the reason that CSK player’s name started trending on Twitter.
The demand of inducting Raina in Gujarat Titans increased after their opening batsman Jason Roy announced his exit from team. He was bought by the team at the base price of Rs 2 crore.
Thanking the team for showing believe in him in the auction, he shared a letter on Monday.
