Dhoni has asked me to keep it simple: Raina

New Delhi, March 18: Shoehorned into captaincy, Chennai Super Kings’ stand-in skipper Suresh Raina said he would go by regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s advise and try to keep things simple against Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League match here tomorrow.

“I had a chat with Dhoni and he told me to keep things simple and play the natural game. I would do just that,” Raina said after the team’s net session at the Ferozeshah Kotla.

Dhoni sustained an elbow injury in Kolkata which ruled him out of action for 10 days, elevating Raina to the captain’s post.

Raina conceded it was a big challenge but said he was up to it.

“We are going to miss Dhoni, no doubt about that. But when someone gives 100 per cent, there always are chances of injury and that’s how he got injured in Kolkata.
