"Our King Is Back": Dwayne Bravo Reacts To Suresh Raina's Selfie In CSK Jersey

Chennai Super Kings talisman Suresh Raina on Friday took to Instagram to share a picture from his hotel room where he is completing his quarantine ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. Raina, who missed the last edition of the IPL due to personal reasons, arrived in Mumbai on Wednesday and will join teammates after completing his quarantine. "Our king is back!!!" wrote CSK all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, reacting to Raina's post. The MS Dhoni-led side endured a disappointing season last year as they failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in their history. Ahead of the upcoming season, CSK players have already begun their preparations as they look to improve on their standings from last year, which saw them finishing sixth in the eight-team tournament.

After India's brilliant batting display in the second ODI, Raina took to Twitter to praise the superb knocks of KL Rahul and skipper Virat Kohli as they put on a 121-run stand for the third wicket. He was also impressed by Rishabh Pant's explosive knock of 77 runs from 40 balls, studded with three fours and seven sixes.

Well, power-packed performance from @imVkohli and a classic knock by @klrahul11 took away my quarantine blues! Just too good pic.twitter.com/5TTeUUziHH
