Suresh Raina, who went unsold at the IPL 2022 mega auction, will be seen in a commentator’s role with former India team coach Ravi Shastri in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League which is scheduled to start from March 26 in India.

There were rumours that Raina and Shastri are going to join the IPL 2022 as commentators but the news was confirmed by the host broadcaster Star Sports on Tuesday.

Despite an impressive IPL record, Raina went unsold at the IPL 2022 mega auction and no team has shown interest to sign Mr. IPL in the mega auction of IPL 2022.

In the first match of the 15th edition of IPL, the previous year’s winner, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the runner-up, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), will lock horns with each other on March 26.

Disney Star Networks, which has the broadcasting IPL rights, has announced a list of 80 commentators.

Former India coach Ravi Shastri will join the commentator’s panel for the first time in seven years. Meanwhile, Suresh Raina, who did not find any bidder for his name during the IPL 2022 mega auction, will make a commentary debut in the upcoming season of the IPL.  

The IPL 2022 will be broadcast in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam and Bengali.
