However, given his recent form, Dale Steyn and Sanjay Manjrekar believe Suresh Raina’s tenure. The Indian Premier League may be coming to an end. This season, the left-handed batsman has only scored 157 runs in 11 outings, with only one fifty to his credit.
Therefore, In regards to Raina’s poor form, both Steyn and Manjrekar believe that he does not have a bright future. Ahead of him and also that the current season could be his final. Thus, Steyn used the example of David Warner. Despite being a franchise legend, had been dropped from the playing XI.
“Maybe it is the end of the road for Raina, it is a tough one. He has been a legend. If you don’t score runs, we’ve seen it happen to Warner and it can happen to many other players too.” he said
“He’s not looking at the moment like a batter who has got a couple of seasons left in him,” Steyn said
With a win over Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi. CSK may secure a place in Qualifier 1 and two opportunities to play in the final.
The collapse of the Rajasthan Royals in the second leg of the 2021 IPL can be traced primarily to their middle-order batting. Mahipal Lomror, Liam Livingstone, Riyan Parag, and Rahul Tewatia, for example, have all failed to perform on a consistent basis.
Riyan Parag
Steyn was perplexed by Riyan Parag’s continued inclusion in the starting eleven despite the presence of Shivam Dube on the bench.
“I’m just confused by how Riyan Parag keeps playing like it’s nothing personal just I have not seen it yet, he has not shown me or anyone else for that matter. I’ve been in a team with Shivam Dube, I know what he is capable of doing,” he said
