#1 Suresh Raina
This 2022 IPL will not be the same without Mr. IPL. Maybe we will never see him now in the IPL. Rains went unsold in mega auction his previous team Chennai Super Kings did not bid for him and which was a total shock as Chennai got almost every player back in their team but not Raina. It is surely an end of an era as Raina and Dhoni’s chemistry on the field finally came to an end and it broke the hearts of CSK fans. Raina was an integral part of IPL and without him, IPL will never be the same.
