With the 2020 IPL season delayed by the viral outbreak, Australian veteran Matthew Hayden used his Twitter account to look back at his best times with the Chennai Super Kings, tagging teammate Suresh Raina to join in on the nostalgia.
As the Indian Premier League 2020, stay undecided due to the viral flu spread, the veteran Australian batsman and the IPL’s Chennai Super Kings player Mathew Hayden AM shared his best moments with the CSK team in his twitter page. Hayden tagged another CSK mate Suresh Raina to highlight the best occasions from IPL.
On April 13, 2020, Hayden shared a video celebrating his experiences playing alongside his CSK teammates. He looked back at memorable encounters with Mumbai and Punjab, recalling specific batting feats and a legendary catch to fill the void left by the postponed season. He then passed the baton to Suresh Raina, asking him to share his own favorite CSK stories.
Raina reminisced about a 2010 encounter with the Delhi Daredevils, where he and Hayden successfully chased a target of 185/6. In that game on March 19, Hayden played a blistering knock of 93 runs from 43 balls, while Raina added 49 runs off 23 balls. Raina highlighted Hayden's use of the 'mongoose bat,' noting how its unusual design—a long top and heavy base—helped him smash the ball to the boundary repeatedly.
Raina mentioned that these memories are a prized part of the Australian batsman's legacy. Continuing the trend, Raina then tagged South African star Faf du Plessis, inviting him to share his own most meaningful moment with the 'yellow army' of CSK.
