Dhoni continued to go home at Mashidanbaram Stadium in Chennai, taking the spotlight in the current 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) .

Since the league's first edition, Yellow Army has played a total of 60 games at Masidan Baram Stadium in 2007/08. This is also known as Chepork Stadium. These games also include the now disbanded Champions League T20 tournament game, with Reina not missing any of these CSK games against the Lucknow Super Giants tonight.

For those who don't know, CSK has returned to Chepauk for the first time since the 2019 edition of IPL or after 1, 426 days. The last time they played at home was May 7, 2019. Why is Suresh Raina Chinna Thala called a CSK fan? Dhoni is popular among CSK fans as Tara, but Reina will be remembered forever as her "Chinnatara."

Chinna Thala means the Tamil junior leader or head who is a member of her Thala on the CSK team. Reina played for CSK all seasons until 2019. He took a break from IPL 2020 for personal reasons, but next year is over. As a result of the poor and impressive form of IPL 2021, it was not selected by the franchise during mega auctions prior to IPL 2022. In September 2022 he finally decided to withdraw from all forms of cricket.

Suresh Raina once realized that he felt like he was called "Chinna Thala".
Just three years ago, Reina was asked by famous commentator Harsha Bogl how she felt when CSK fans called him "Chinna Tah."

Raina answers the questions by explaining her nickname feels him at home, explaining the love, respect and acceptance the Chennai family has given him over the years.
