The southpaw also declared that the titles 'Thala' and 'Chinna Thala' would stay in his heart forever and then thanked the Chennai fans for showering so much love over the years.
"I think my favorite point in Chennai I would say when I played a first-class game here in 2006. I was the captain of the India A team, and Sourav Ganguly played in that match. I hit five sixes in six balls, a lot of crowd was there. Two really good memories I have. Then later on I became part of the Chennai Super Kings alongside MS and our yellow color. So I think it's a lot of blessing I would say. The way you guys gave names Thala and Chinna Thala, that will always stay forever in my heart," said Raina.
