IPL 2021: Back in yellow, back amongst runs as 'Chinna Thala' Suresh Raina hits first fifty of season

'Chinna Thala' Suresh Raina was back in the yellow jersey for the Chennai Super Kings and he was back amongst the runs as the left-hander smashed a 32-ball half-century in his side's first game in the IPL 2021 against the Delhi Capitals.

Raina after missing out in the last year's IPL owing to personal reasons featured in his side's first game on Saturday. After a few tentative pushes and untimed shots, Raina was back into his groove with a couple of boundaries.

As soon as he got those two boundaries, Raina found his rhythm and was now able to get the ball in the middle of the bat. After which, it was vintage Raina on the show as he destroyed Delhi Capitals spinners, especially Ravichandran Ashwin.

With three fours and four sixes, Raina raced away to a half-century, the first of this IPL in just 32 balls. Even though he got out soon after due to a run-out, he sure entertained the CSK fans and his fans world over.
