Suresh Raina went unsold on base price of INR 2 crore
Before the auction, Raina announced his base price of Rs 2 crore for the auction but any team did not showed interest in him to buy him. Notably, Raina’s career in the IPL has been bright. He is the fourth-highest run-getter in IPL history. During his IPL term, he made 5528 run by playing 205 matches.
However, his performance in the last two season was not good. He missed the 2020 IPL due to the personal reason while he made only 160 runs in the 2021 IPL.
