-Imrina You should be ashamed of yourself.
Even though you have been playing for the Chennai team for many years it seems that you have not experienced the true Chennai culture. https://t.co/ZICLRr0ZLh

In fact, Suresh Raina joined the commentary team in the first game of the Tamil Nadu Premier League. During the match, the co-host asked the former Indian batsman about his adaptation to South Indian culture. To that, Raina said, ‘I think I am a Brahmin. I’ve been playing in Chennai since 2004, and I love the clutch my teammate is here. I have played with Anirudh Shrikant, Badrinath, Balabhai (Laxmipati Balaji). We have good governance in the CSK team and we have a license to explore ourselves. I love the grip here and consider myself lucky to be a part of CSK. Raina has been attacked by critics for calling her a Brahmin and is being asked to apologize for her statement.
