Yuvraj Singh said Suresh Raina was MS Dhoni’s favorite player; Now Raina comes up with a reply

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has made some shocking relevations after retiring and one of the most controversial remarks made by him was that Suresh Raina was MS Dhoni’s favorite player. Singh subtly hinted that Raina received more opportunities than any other player when Dhoni was the skipper. 

While a majority of the fans agreed with Yuvi’s statement, with the reason that every captain has a favorite player, and MS Dhoni’s choice was Suresh Raina. However, a few members of the cricket universe feel that Yuvraj simply made this comment to spark a controversy. 

Irrespective of what his intentions were, Yuvraj Singh created a buzz with this statement. Suresh Raina recently commented on the same remark and replied Yuvraj:
“I would say MS definitely supported me, he supported me because he knew I have talent, I’ve done it for him, CSK and Team India, whenever he supported me. The best part about him is that he will tell you after two games, ‘If you don’t score, I’ve to take a big step.’ I said just give me one or two games, I will make sure not to repeat mistakes.” 

Raina accepted that Dhoni supported him a lot. He further justified that a role of a middle-order batsman is not easy, especially in the ODIs. The CSK vice-captain continued:
“You know, middle-order isn’t easy, every game you play sometimes you bat for 10-15 overs and sometimes for 30 overs. Our position is different and we’ve to chip in with the ball, we’ve to get 2-3 wickets and we’ve to save 15-20 runs. Middle-order has always been challenging for me, but, I’ve always taken everything positively.”

Ultimately, Raina praised Dhoni and signed off with the following statement:
“God has been kind in all difficult situations, it’s difficult to say now that I got less or more chances, I am happy that I was part of that WC, he supported me, I delivered, so I think I can’t ask for more.”

Thus, in this manner, Raina gave a reply to the controversial remarks that Yuvraj Singh made.
