The bowling department included Dug Bollinger, Shadab Jakati, Ravichandran Ashwin, Laxmipati Balaji and Mohit Sharma. At the same time, he chose Muttiah Muralitharan as ‘Impact Player’.

Raina especially praised Shadab Jakati and Mohit Sharma and said, “Jakati was an ex-factor player. He performed brilliantly from 2010 to 2013 and made a big contribution to our victories, but he did not get as much recognition as it should have been.” Talking about Mohit Sharma, Raina said, “Mohit has been a Purple Cap holder playing for Channai and at that time the copyback ball was the bowling for the batsmen.

Interestingly, the current captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who won the Orange Cap in 2021, also did not find a place in this all time playing XI. At the same time, only Dhoni and Jadeja are active players in this list, who are still associated with CSK.
