Raina was known as the Mr. IPL during his career as he scored 5528 runs in his IPL career including 39 half-centuries and one century. Several reports say that he didn’t register himself for the auction in the first place whereas, some other reports say that at the last movement, he withdrew his name. Although he announced his retirement from international cricket in August 2020 but continued to play in IPL for Chennai Super Kings till 2022, since then he was not seen playing any competitive cricket.

As per the Lanka Premier League, the auction was set to take place on 14 June, and nearly 360 people have registered themselves to go into the hammer, and the main tournament is all set to begin on 31 July.
