Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batsman Suresh Raina had set INR 2 crore as his base price for the auction and no teams showed interest in acquiring the services of the Indian Premier League veteran batsman. Fans even slammed Chennai Super Kings for not picking Raina despite having an INR 2.95 crore purse left after finalizing the squad.

However, Suresh Raina will be still participating in the 15th edition of the tournament, but not as a player.
