Is Chennai Super King's Suresh Raina 'individual 3'?

Miudgal probe report specifies Srinivasan was aware of conduct violation by this player

Mumbai: The index of the 25-page Mudgal probe report refers to four individuals. Gurunath Meiyappan is mentioned as individual No 1, Raj Kundra No. 11, Sundar Raman No 12 and N Srinivasan No 13.

However, the report has withheld names of players who are referred as individuals 2 to 10. It’s learnt that individuals 2 and 3 are key players of Chennai Super Kings.

The probe report specifies that Srinivasan and four other BCCI officials were aware of the violation of the Players Code of Conduct by Individual 3, but no action was taken against Individual 3 by any of the officials who were aware of this infraction. However, it’s not clear whether the Individual 3 is under scanner for the violation during the IPL or during any other tournament.

According to highly placed sources, the Individual no. 3 is Suresh Raina. No evidence of betting or fixing has been found against the Indian batsman. It also could not be proved whether it was a honey-trap when the girl was spotted in his room during India’s tour of Sri Lanka in 2010. However, N. Srinivasan, who was a secretary then, didn’t take action against him for violating the Players Code of Conduct.
