It is just shocking to hear about the threats N Srinivasan made to Suresh Raina, after the latter decided to withdraw from IPL 2020.

Reacting for the first time ever since senior batsman Suresh Raina decided to pull out of IPL 2020 and flew back to India citing‘personal reasons’, Chennai Super Kings owner and former BCCI president N Srinivasan on Sunday said the left-hander will regret his decision and would want to come back. “The season has not begun yet and Raina will certainly realise what he is missing and certainly all the money (a salary of 11 crores per season) he is going to lose,” Srinivasan told Outlook.
Who is Mr. Srinivasan, and what does he think he is? Raina has already clarified to the media that he is pulling out of the tournament for personal reasons (his uncle recently got murdered). He does have the right to do so, although he may lose the salary for this year.
If this is how he treats a player who has represented his team (CSK) for more than a decade, then I really pity on Mr. Srinivasan. Perhaps this is not surprising from a man, who took part in match fixing during the IPL, and then got off with a lenient punishment thanks to his political connection.
Any other franchise owner would have stood by the player, during this difficult time. But what to expect from Srinivasan, who has disowned his own son?
