“Life is most important at this point of time. IPL can surely wait. We all need to follow the government guidelines on lockdown else we all face the consequences. When life gets better, we can think about the IPL. So many people are dying at the moment, we need to save lives.

“I am relaxing in the lockdown, cooking and spending time with the kids. There is so much more to life than cricket, moments like these make you realise that. With this lockdown, people should realise the importance of being down to earth,” Raina was quoted as saying by PTI.

As per BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) President Sourav Ganguly, “no change in the situation” of the global crisis hasn’t allowed the organizers to zero in on a new start date of IPL 2020.

Raina, who last played competitive cricket during IPL 2018, was in Chennai attending a practice camp in preparation of the tournament. Being asked about the camp, the southpaw remembered spending time with CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

“It was a nice camp. I was there for two months but then this happened. Got to spend some time with [MS] Dhoni. He was batting so well in the nets, he had the hunger of a younsgter. In one session, he batted for three hours at a stretch,” Raina said.
