Former Chennai Super Kings player Suresh Raina is currently part of the commentary team in IPL after his retiring from cricket. The CSK legend is also known for his humour that was on display from the commentary box a lot of times and he demonstrated it once again when he was asked about his plans to come out of retirement during the Qualifier 1 clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on May 21 (Tuesday).
Suresh Raina on ending retirement
Aakash Chopra was sharing the commentary box with Suresh Raina when he asked him if he plans on to come out of retirement to play again. Raina came up with a hilarious response to it and said “he is Suresh Raina, not Shahid Afridi".
KKR qualify for IPL 2024 Final
KKR became the first team to qualify for the IPL 2024 final after beating SRH by 8 wickets quite dominantly. This is the fourth time that they have reached in the final of the cash-rich league. However, SRH will still have another chance to secure their spot as a finalist as they will face the winner of Eliminator in the Qualifier 2. Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will collide against each other to seal the spot in Qualifier 2.
The Royal clash is quite interesting as Royals lost their momentum after a terrific start to the season and Bengaluru are on a 6-match win streak after a dismal outing at the beginning of the tournament. A loss here will end a team's campaign in the tournament.
