Suresh Raina unveils Gujarat Lions official team jersey


Sureah Raina officially launched the team jersey of Gujarat Lions for the upcoming season in 2016, along with team owner Keshav Bansal. India‘s reliable middle-order batsman Suresh Raina, and skipper of the newest franchise of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Gujarat Lions (GL), officially launched the team jersey for the upcoming season in 2016, along with team owner Keshav Bansal. The jersey is primiarily coloured red, along with a blue crossover strip on the top, around the chest and the neck, and also in the lower potion. Gujarat, who come into the league, along with Rising Pune Superginats, following the suspension of twin former champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), look set to perform good in their inaugural season. Earlier, following a sensible marketing during the just-concluded IPL Auction 2016, one of the newest franchises in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL), the Gujarat Lions have roped in former Zimbabwe skipper, Heath Streak as their bowling head coach for the upcoming ninth season of the IPL. Streak, who was a former Zimbabwean seamer is also the present bowling coach of the Bangladesh national team, and in what seems to be not an exclusive contract with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), he cannot be barred by the national board from taking the similar job role, as was reported by espncricinfo.com. “I’m extremely satisfied. We’ve got the best and the biggest of the names. They are considered big names because they have been performing well. I think we have got them at the right price and that is something that was extremely important. It’s not about influence. It is about team strategies and discussions which we have been having for a long time. Both Suresh [Raina] and Braddy [Brad Hodge] have been an integral part of it. They have been taking most of the decisions so I give all credit to them. They have been doing a fantastic job,” said Bansal in an exclusive interview to CricketCountry, earlier. Gujarat had made a good beginning, ahead of the auction, when they picked Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, James Faulkner, Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith in the IPL player draft.
