Suresh Raina Would Vote For MS Dhoni Ahead Of Sachin Tendulkar For PM Post

Former Indian player Suresh Raina said that he would vote for MS Dhoni ahead of legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar if both stand for the post of Prime Minister of the country.

Raina is very well known to share an amicable bond with the former Indian skipper at such a level that the pair was dubbed as ‘Thala-Chinna Thala’ by CSK fans, in Tamil ‘Thala’ is called as a leader and ‘Chinna Thala’ means the right hand of the leader.

The left-handed batsman had declared his international retirement hours after the former Indian skipper announced his decision to hang his boots from international cricket and Raina promises to do the same for CSK.

“We’ve (him and Dhoni) played a lot of matches for India as well as CSK. I think it’s just the emotion and on top of that, we have that respect for each other. I have learned a lot from him and he is like a big brother to me,” Raina said on Star Sports’ Cricket Connected in July while expressing his bond with Dhoni.
