Former Indian cricketer and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Suresh Raina recently featured in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021). However, the tournament was called off after the emergence of multiple COVID-19 cases in the bio-bubble. With the IPL 2021 postponed for the time-being, Raina is spending time with his family at his home in Ghaziabad.

Fans get nostalgic as Suresh Raina works out in old Indian training jersey at home

Suresh Raina is making the most of the time he has got to spend with his near and dear ones. From cooking for his family to celebrating his daughter Gracia's birthday to working out regularly, the southpaw has ensured that he keeps his fans updated about his daily life through social media. Raina might be away from the field, however, he is leaving no stone unturned in keeping himself fit.

On Tuesday, Raina took to Instagram and uploaded a video where he is seen involved in a gruelling workout routine. He captioned the post, "#fitnessmode #thingsilove #workout #fitnessmotivation #fitness". Notably, the former cricketer was seen donning an old Indian training jersey while working out which sent the fans into nostalgia.

CSK team 2021 IPL campaign

MS Dhoni's men had an awful IPL 2020 campaign as they finished at the penultimate position in the points table, thus failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in their history. Much was expected from the Yellow Army coming into IPL 2021 as they had plugged the holes in their squad at the auction and also their batting mainstay Raina was returning to the fold after skipping IPL 2020 due to personal reasons.

Chennai had a dream start to their IPL 2021 campaign as they won five out of the seven games they played despite their skipper being out of form, with Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina being their key men of success. The Men in Yellow dominated the opponents in almost all their wins. Their two defeats came against Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. At the time of the IPL suspension, CSK were placed second in the IPL 2021 points table behind Delhi with 10 points to their name. It will be interesting to see if CSK maintain their form post the IPL 2021 postponed scenario, once the tournament resumes.

A constant in the IPL since its inaugural year, Raina has earned a whopping ₹110.74 crore from the league alone.
