Raina is missing Saturday's IPL match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chinnaswamy Stadium. He is likely to miss the next match against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kanpur on Thursday. This is the first time Raina has missed an IPL game in nine years.
Raina is in the cusp of an IPL milestone. He is 15 runs shy of becoming the first batsman to score 4,000 runs in IPL. Of course, Gujarat Lions are almost sure to crack a playoff berth and hence Raina should achieve the landmark this season.
Twenty-nine-year old Raina played all his IPL matches for Chennai Super Kings till CSK were banned for two seasons due to corruption-related issues. Raina was chosen to skipper IPL debutants the Gujarat Lions.
Raina has scored 3699 runs for Chennai and 286 runs for the Lions so far. For CSK, Raina scored one century while his best for GL so far has been an unbeaten 75.
