He may be forgotten amongst the casuals but true fans know that he was Mr. IPL during the early IPL seasons.
Now whenever I see CSK struggling with top order, I remember how Mr. IPL used to save us from collapses! The Backbone of CSK batting lineup!!💛
If he would have played for himself, he could have easily scored 600+ runs in 5-6 seasons like others but he always tried maximising the damage in the middle overs. He provided base to other batsmen, I have personally seen that over the years and I have always idolised him as a true team-man who plays for wins not for records!❤️❤️
Truly selfless player. Great understated talent.
The problem with every match is people only remember the people who completed the game , but not who made the hard yards through the middle, same like how people only remember Dhoni 97 but not Gambhir in the World Cup final which according to me was same if not more important than Dhoni , even in t20 World Cup when irfan got player of the match in knockout he said Gambhir should get it because he made runs on a tough pitch , people tend to forget that and also the fact that each player has a role in the team and he needs to play that instead of serving their own agenda, probably one the reasons why India never won a tournament after 2011
Raina is truly a special player
* Can bat anywhere from 3-7
* Can be explosive when needed
* Can play slow if there is an early collapse
* Handy spin bowler who can chip in a few overs when necessary
India is definitely missing this kind of player now, the closest we've got to this profile is Tilak Varma but nowadays India rarely give the ball to part-timers anyway
Also, Raina did it back when IPL matches were not played on cement tracks.
Great video Jarrod now I can show this video to all those people who asks "was he good ?" Instead of arguing with them😂
Suresh raina is a ipl legend he not only score runs but impactful runs for csk along with extraordinary fielding efforts and bit of bowling too.❤
Probably the most underrated batsmen ever. I'm glad someone took notice besides me. Thanks for the video Jarrod 👍
He was extremely good at no.3 when his career began but was brought down to 6 to promote Kohli to no.3 because he was struggling at no.6. His batting average took a hit due to that but he'd always ensured played the role Dhoni had for him and that selflessness had rather become a curse for him 😕
Raina deserved this video. Thanks Jarrod !
Glad to see Raina get his flowers.
Still one of the greatest middle order batsman around. People talk about ABD and Virat Kohli, but no one considers the slow turning Chepuk track and the high flying Chinnaswamy.
Pure gold, a great tribute to an IPL legend!
Raina was an IPL god for sure. The only reason to like Chennai.
I remember that brilliant innings, and he got run out at 6 overs.
And the score was 100 at 6 overs.
He was in a total trance during the innings.
So unlucky
The amount of stability India had when Kohli, Raina and Yuvi batted together in the middle was amazing.
Raina was a clutch player who won't crumble under pressure
Raina + Badrinath in the middle was something else.
Don’t add Raina and Badrinath in the same basket, Raina is a legend
Too bad that badrinath never gets mentioned in any kind of csk conversations. I remember those days when csk had a batting collapse early on it was badrinath who anchored the ship.
@@sanshere53it wasn't even a comparison wth. He was complimenting the effectiveness of the duo
@@nazalmoideen yeah true that now I get the angle, my bad didn’t realise it at first place
That idiot badrinath lost one IPL . he is year of monkey. Worst player ever
I would argue he is one of the greats for indian team as well, whenever i used to watch an odi match where india was in a tough situation batting wise he always played the supporting role to other batsmen, always getting those crucial 30-40 runs quickly that takes off the pressure, was a lighthearted team player that also contributed to the environment in the dressing room, he is someone india is missing right now a batsman that doesn’t take pressure no matter what the stage of the competition is playing the same in groups as well as knockouts, Rinku is a little bit reminiscent of that in him, he would have thrived more if he was used up the order. A lot of people forget he was yet to bat after yuvraj singh and dhoni in that 2011 WC final he used to bat that low.
He Saved Ind in Semi-Final of same WC. Where both Yuvi and Dhoni struggled, Ind would have bowled out under 200, he was the reason, Ind ended with 260.
People just don't get it how good he was
Bro people talk about Void Yuvi left but As an Indian I know Raina is also one who always used to take pressure of MSD in both India and CSK.
MSD wouldn't have been so much bigger finisher if Raina and kohli don't do all the hardwork upfront and in middle overs.
Tilak Verma idolizes Raina and plays like him with part time bowling and gun fileding, I hope both MI and India sees the vakue Tilak Verma brings who puts team requirement above anything and give him long rope.
India really in serach of a player like Raina who can bat anywhere from 3 to 7, can roll the arm if need and absolutely gun fielder in any part of the field.
One of the greatest
Finally a worthy video a man who understood the real worth of MR.Ipl raina🔥🔥
Man, this brings back some painful memories 😅
The G, O. A. T of IPL and a phenomenal lower order batsman for India
Jarrod my man. Thankful for this. ❤
that innings of 87 of 25 balls against Punjab kings by Raina was unbelievable. .... he batted like a man possessed ....even csk fans were like wtf just happened here, 100 up in just 6 overs !!! Ironic we lost that match.
today in 2024 everyone is going mad that teams are scoring almost 100 runs in 6 or 7 overs (with impact player rule).... that Raina innings happened 10 years back when 180 used to be a match winning total most of the times
great video jarrod...wondering if you can do a video on opening partnership of dr smith and baz for csk...i thought it was ahead of its time but maybe thats just nostalgia speaking
There was a phase when I used to tune into CSK games just to watch Raina bat. Thanks for making this video Jarrod!
As Dhoni fan, I couldn't agree more. Without Raina CSK wouldn't have been the same today, the GOAT no.3 in the IPL.
0:36 Even today, with Head going mad, it wasn't broken!!
first! thanks for the content jarrod
Raina was the wall that hits back and hard
I remember the first match I saw Raina on tv was that quarterfinal with Australia. Instantly became a fan of him. I am such a huge fan that my jersey no is 3 my whole life. Even though I am a bowler I always liked him. People don't appreciate the fact that he's played an equally important role in the csk franchise along with Dhoni. This man showed what 'intent' meant way before everyone. BTW loved this video man!! Ur channel is as underrated as Suresh ig 😂😂😂 Keep up the good work hope to see you at greater heights 👏🎉😅
The sad truth of Indian cricket is if you're a selfless cricketer who prioritizes team over personal milestones, no one will notice you. Not experts, not selectors.
Ask Ambati Rayudu, Sanju Samson & Rahul Tewatia.
Thanks for the video , people often forget about how big of a legend he is ❤
Raina❤❤
Monster of a player.❤
We finally got a video on the real IPL Goat. Thank you Jarrod.
People should know that the stats displayed are true averages and true strike rates , meaning roads of Bangalore or bunsen burners of Chennai are also considered.
I don't think he was as underrated as you think Jarrod. He was nicknamed Mr. IPL. The crossing 400 mark was always in the conversation. Fans knew that he was the backbone of CSK batting, and he was often hailed as the best IPL batter. It was also well known that he is very good at batting for long time while striking at a good rate. The only thing that was lesser discussed was how good he was against spin in comparison to everyone else, and how little he was paid. But that is probably because he never went to auctions after season one, right? He got drafted at Gujarat Lions when CSK was banned so there was a fixed price.
He is the best team player ever in ipl
Chinna Thala, IPL GOAT- Suresh Raina!
Never realised what a crucial mistake India made trying to have Dhawan and Rahane work in top order in t20is.
Just imagine Rohit and Kohli opening with Raina coming in at 3.
Vk would have had 5 t20i centuries by now and India might have had the t20wc for the 2nd time.
No one used to hit 6s over cover... Apart from Chris Cairns.
I would say he's one of the best cricketer india produced in 21st century. He was a reliable batter, had bailed us out many times along with MS, good part timer you can count on and above all a top class fielder. You don't see many guys like him nowadays, or as consistent like him. If Kohli wouldn't have started opening for RCB and played at No. 3, I would pick Raina over him because he knows a thing or two about winning trophies in critical situation, casuals haven't seen him play so they can't understand why I'm saying this. There have been players who made tons of runs for their franchise and others who saved their teams in crunch situation and won them trophies, Raina was a mixture of both.
Mr IPL
Please make a video on abdevillers🥲🥲 please Jarod brother
Forgotten gem of csk
2014 ipl
Raina
Maxwell
Both smashed every team except kkr the champion
He should be looked between 2008-2016
Not 14
Why you playing that ominous music for background. L
CSK dont know what to do with RACHIN RAVINDRA
CSK is just half as good a team without Suresh Raina. CSK has ALWAYS been in the playoffs whenever Raina was in the team. Now my only reason to still support CSK is MSD, but I’m gonna quit watching IPL once he’s gone!
samson is coming for that no.3 spot
Again Bored of statistics
