IPL 2018: Dhoni to lead, Raina to be vice-captain for Chennai Super Kings

INDIA VETERAN Suresh Raina is all set to be MS Dhoni’s deputy at Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming season. 

Earlier last week, the Chennai franchise announced the retention of Dhoni, Raina and Ravindra Jadeja. The trio have been a part of the side when they made it to four finals and lifted two trophies. As reported by India Today, Raina divulged,

"MS Dhoni is going to be the captain, I'm going to be the vice-captain, Jadeja is also going to be there. Then there are certain players in the auction. We all will be having a meeting soon and then decide what planning we will be having for the auction."

It is also learnt that both Dhoni and Raina have already got the list of potential players they will be looking out for in the auction. Raina added,

"I have already got the sheet, I'll have a go through it, MS will also go through it. It's important to have few important quality Indian players. This year you will have the best team in CSK, I have a feeling. Because two years I have played for Gujarat, he (Dhoni) played in Pune and played a lot of matches for India also and then I've been playing a lot of domestic games...I've seen a lot of talent.”
