Suresh Raina gets candid on getting scolded by MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina are two names of Indian cricket that share a beautiful bond even off the field. The two have spent a lot of time playing together for the Indian cricket team and also their IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings. It has been seen on various occasions that two share a close bond. In fact, right after MS Dhoni announced his retirement, Raina followed in his footsteps.

Raina recently appeared in a candid interview where he spoke at length about his relationship with the CSK skipper. The UP cricketer also talked about if he has ever been scolded by him. Raina added that it has happened numerous times and mostly on the field while playing.

“Bohot baar hua hoga. Kabhi match khele honge. Catch chuta tha kabhi. Usne bola ki focus rakh, aa sakta hai catch slip mein. Maine pehle hi bola tha saale aane wala hai. Toh hota hai kabhi na kabhi ek keeper jab aapko ek position deta hai, usi ball pe usne socha, usi ball pe aaya,” said Raina in his latest interview with RJ Raunac No-Po.

Suresh Raina opens up on MS Dhoni’s favorite dialogue

Suresh Raina was further asked about the favorite dialogue of the former legendary skipper. To which Raina added that MS has always taught him that the game isn’t over until it’s actually over. A dialogue that conveys the message that one should keep fighting till the very end. In fact, it has been seen from Dhoni’s end only that he likes to take the match deep and always keep the opposition on their toes.

“Unka sabse badia dialogue hai ki jab tak khatam nahi ho match, jab tak khatam nahi ho (The match is not over until is it actually finished). So, you have to stay there. Aur aapko poora vishwas se khelna hai, poora koshish karna hai ki jab tak match khatam nahi ho jab tak khatam nahi ho (Play with self-belief and put in all the efforts to finish the game),” he added.

Raina and MS will next be seen in the UAE leg of IPL 2021, playing for their yellow army.
