Ahead of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) Player Auction on Friday, former India batter Suresh Raina heaped praise on N Jagadeesan, who's part of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) franchise. Raina talked about on both international and domestic players but he expects Jagadeesan to perform brilliantly in the IPL 2023 edition. Raina picked Jaydev Unadkat and Narayan Jagadeesan as his top picks for the Indians. Both Indian players had an excellent domestic season. Unadkat finished with 19 wickets in 10 games at an economy rate of 3.33. At the same time, Jagadeesan slammed five consecutive centuries for Tamil Nadu, the last of which was a record-breaking 277 against Arunachal Pradesh.

"Then there is Jaydev Unadkat who just won the Vijay Hazare Trophy and has a lot of experience in the IPL. N Jagadeesan has a very good cricketing brain, and he bats so deep, is a very smart, calculative batsman. He has done really well for Tamil Nadu, watch out for him," Raina said in a Jio Cinema show ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.

Raina singled out Ireland fast bowler Joshua Little as a player to watch out at the back of an outstanding T20 World Cup where he claimed 11 wickets in seven matches.

"Sam Curran has done really well for England as well as for Chennai Super Kings and there is Ben Stokes who has led England well. So having a top all-rounder in your team can change the movement of the game. Watch out for Joshua Little from Ireland. He has done really well in the World Cup just now, and I just played with him," Raina said.
