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.
The IPL 2021 will begin on April 9 with five-time champions Mumbai Indians facing Royal Challengers Bangalore in Chennai. CSK, who have won the tournament thrice, will play their first match on April 10 against Delhi Capitals in Mumbai.
The 14th edition of the cash-rich league will be played across six venues -- Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore and Ahmedabad.
