He did not how they were dead ? Were they killed by someone or passed away due to some other reason. The investigation may come in few days by the PunjabPolice India but this is really a shocking news. Someone might have taken revenge with Suresh Raina🇮🇳  

Raina's uncle and other family members were asleep at the terrace of the house, when they were attacked by an infamous criminal gang (locally known as the "kala kachha gang"). Raina's uncle Ashok Kumar (58 y.o) and his son Kaushal Kumar (30 y.o) reportedly died in the attack, while the other family members are still hospitalized. The criminals behind the attack are yet to be arrested, as they are rumored to be close to the politicians.

Earlier there were rumors of terrorists attacking the family (since Raina was the Kashmiri to represent India), but these were later proven to be false.

All that said, N Srinivasan's reaction was appalling. He should understand that cricketers are human beings and they too have families. This guy is blinded due to his greed for money.

Why is Raina targeted like this, i thought he was just a cricket player, are these political attacks or regional discrimination, why would anyone attack someone from Kashmir. Srinivasan is the owner of a team and if he is spending money on a player he has the rights to comment on his investment and during a pandemic phase they will find it hard to find a player to replace them.

Some of the media sources are claiming that the motive was robbery. It is highly suspect, given that the village was located in a high-security zone. Also, even the relatives of the victims were kept in the dark by the cops, who refused to divulge much details about the attack. And talking about Srinivasan, he has the right to criticize the players. But not at a time when they are mourning the death of their loved ones. I would regard that as inhuman behaviour.

The motive of the attack is unknown, and we cannot verify what exactly happened or was the family purposely being robbed. But should be any discrimination based I suppose because Raina has being for years now and nothing of this sort has every happened. But, N Srinivasan before he had commented should have just checked with him personally what happened and latter would have commented so such noise in media would not have arise.

Oh!

This is bad news I was not aware of it. Things like these need to be addressed carefully but I assumed Mr Srinivasan might not been in his senses otherwise who will react with such stupidity to such a sensitive issue.

Of couse stupidity does not have a cure.

If the motive was robbery, then those who died must have resisted against them and they killed them. But the reason of this incident is not related to Raina cricket background  or those who killed raina relatives does not have anything personal with him ?  I mean to say that raina was not the root cause of this incident ?

More drama regarding Raina from the CSK. Yesterday, Raina made a statement claiming that it is "unimaginable" that he is not with CSK. A few hours later, Mahendra Singh Dhoni during the post-match ceremony made clear that he was not happy with Raina's decision to pull out from the tournament. Dhoni never mentioned Raina's name, but media was claiming that he was the target.

However Raina will play this season game, what Dhoni has revealed is a start point to take him into the team. Raina is a strong player at the middle order and for the critical match situation when there is continued fall of wickets. CSK has made a strong start, but based on the upcoming few match stats changes can happen with the entry of Raina.

CSK needs someone who is capable of scoring at 1.5 runs per over in the middle overs and I think Raina is perfect for this spot. Even in the match against MI, they faced a lot of difficulty in stepping up the scoring rate. Both du Plessis and Rayudu had strike rate lower than 150. And without the fireworks from Sam Curran towards the end, they could have easily lost the match.

@Ayiranorea where did you read that Ms Dhoni has indicated that Raina is coming back, because there’s no update regarding Raina joining CSK anytime soon. Also all the media reports are showing that the former Indian captain (Ms Dhoni) has taken a dig at Raina, saying that as cricketers we criticise a lot, and here the we is understood to be directed at Raina, so I don’t think that now Raina will come back at least for this season.

^^^ Do they need Raina? With the CSK middle order (Faf du Plessis / Ambati Rayudu / Ravindra Jadeja / Sam Curran) in such splendid form, even of Raina is back it will be quite difficult for the selectors to accommodate him in the playing XI. One option is to drop either Shane Watson or Murali Vijay. But these two are like icon players for CSK and the selectors will be hesitant to take that step.

I do not think there will be requirement for Raina but his experience in middle order and in crucial stages does help the team. At the moment if he comes back he will need to sit for sometime now.

Raina is someone who is capable of scoring runs quickly. CSK needs someone like him in the middle order. During the last match, both Rayudu and du Plessis scored the runs for them, but if not for Sam Curran they could have lost the match. Du Plessis in particular was scoring runs very slowly, as he made runs at a strike rate of 132. It is understandable, considering the fact that almost half of the squad is aged around 35 years.

Had Raina, maybe CSK's team would have been more balanced.  But not having Raina is not a big problem.  The current team combination has been much better.  Players like Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Faf Duplessis, and Ms Dhoni can turn the game around at any time.  So I don't think Raina will have much of an impact on the team.

I don't know whether Raina could have made a big difference. The main problem with CSK is that they have a squad where the average age is close to 35. This will definitely have an impact, when they need to step up the momentum. I can understand CSK including players such as Dhoni and Harbhajan in their squad, as they are legendary players. But what is the point in giving so much importance to players such as Kedar Jadhav?

Australian cricket lost a legend today with the passing of Dean Jones. He basically made cricket fun to watch back then as he was an attacking batsman and played like a T20 game. He will be remembered for this and for the tied test match against India. RIP

I was shocked to hear about this when the commentators mentioned it before the start of the KXIP vs RCB match yesterday. The players were wearing black armbands and I was wondering why. Then one of the commentators mentioned that they were doing it out of respect for Deano. He was just 59 years old. Always loved his commentary, and he will be sorely missed by all the cricket fans.

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news, he was a great person for cricket and helped a lot of young players in India where he did coaching for many years and was well respected by a lot of players. He will be missed by the cricket community.

The younger generation remember him as an expert commentator. He played his last test in 1992, and only the older generation remember his playing days. That said he was very active in the commentatory teams and as you mentioned in the coaching department. He coached the Islamabad United in PSL, and they won two championships during his term.

Great moment for the Pakistani Umpire Aleem Dar to make a new world record of most ODI matches officiated by him.
