Suresh Raina teases CSK comeback in IPL 2026 with 'Fastest 50' bombshell; team coach reacts 'I have to ask...'

Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Suresh Raina teased his comeback to the Indian Premier League (IPL) after five years. Raina dropped the bombshell on Sunday when asked about a possible change in the CSK dressing room for the 2026 season. The moment took place during Chennai's final league match against the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which the former won by 83 runs. The update was shown live on television.

Raina joined former Indian cricketers Aakash Chopra and Sanjay Bangar on the commentary panel. As the five-time winners finished last in IPL for the first time, the three talked about what went wrong for the MS Dhoni-led team this season.

Raina went on to reveal that negotiations are underway from Chennai to appoint a new batting coach for the next edition. Aakash wanted to know if the new batting coach's initials began with "S"? Raina then teased Chennai fans by saying, "He has made the fastest fifty," and bursting out in a laugh.
