IPL 2019: One match-winner in each side

#1 Chennai Super Kings - Suresh Raina

Suresh Raina needs to deliver if CSK is to retain the trophy.

There is no need to look beyond Mr IPL, Suresh Raina, for the Chennai Super Kings. He is one of the players along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni to have played every season for the team since the inception of the IPL.

Raina is the leading run-getter in the history of the Indian Premier League and is on the verge of crossing 5000 runs mark in the 12-year-old tournament. While he may have lost his place in the Indian team, a good showing in the IPL which hasn't been the case for the last few years by his own standards, he may make a comeback.

With Dhoni not getting any younger, Raina will have to take the brunt of the responsibility this season and be a match winner like he was in his prime.
