In a heartwarming reunion that set the internet ablaze, former Indian cricket stars Suresh Raina and Pragyan Ojha shared a memorable dinner with their beloved former captain, MS Dhoni, at his Ranchi farmhouse. The pictures of this nostalgic gathering quickly went viral, evoking a wave of emotions among cricket enthusiasts across the nation.
The rendezvous occurred amidst the Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2023, with both Raina and Ojha actively participating in the tournament. Despite their busy schedules, the duo took a break from the cricketing action to spend an evening with Dhoni, who had recently returned from a cherished trip to his hometown in the Almora district of Uttarakhand.
A bond beyond the pitch
Raina and Dhoni share a camaraderie that extends beyond the boundaries of the cricket field. Having been integral parts of the Indian cricket team during its golden era, the two champions have experienced numerous historic moments together. Raina played a crucial role in India’s 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy victories, both led by Dhoni. Notably, the duo even bid farewell to international cricket on the same day, marking the end of an era.
IPL triumphs and endearing nicknames
The rekindling of Raina and Dhoni’s friendship holds special significance for fans of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Raina, fondly known as “Chinna Thala,” was Dhoni’s deputy in the CSK squad during their four IPL triumphs. The emotional reunion after Raina’s departure from the league in 2022 brought back memories of the dynamic duo’s on-field exploits and their cherished camaraderie.
