Suresh Raina will not be featuring in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League after the southpaw pulled out of the tournament due to ‘personal reasons’.

Suresh Raina’s family was attacked in Pathankot

As it turned out, his family was viciously attacked by a group of robbers in Pathankot which led to the demise of his uncle and his cousin while his aunt is still battling in the hospital and is reportedly in a critical state.

Earlier this week, three members of the gang were arrested by the Punjab police, following which Raina went on to thank the Chief Minister of Punjab, Captain Amrinder Singh for the swift action.

Dinkar Gupta, Punjab Director General of Police, said that the accused belonged to an inter-state gang of robber-criminals who attacked Pathankot’s Tharyal village on the night of August 19.

Suresh Raina, who announced his retirement from international cricket last month, has been a vital cog of Chennai Super Kings set-up in the past 12 years, and his absence will certainly be felt by the franchise in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.

Meanwhile, MS Dhoni-led CSK will kickstart their campaign against defending champions Mumbai Indians on September 19.
