Last year, Suresh Raina made a significant announcement by retiring from all formats of cricket. Despite bidding farewell to the field, he continues to remain highly engaged on social media platforms. This year, he also showcased his expertise as a member of the IPL commentary team.
Following MS Dhoni’s decision to retire, Raina also bid farewell to international cricket in August 2020. Taking inspiration from his former teammate, Raina chose to hang up his boots and conclude his illustrious career at the same time.
The elegant left-handed player graced every season of the Indian Premier League from 2008 to 2021, with the exception of 2020 when he made a triumphant return to India from the UAE, where the IPL had been relocated due to the Covid pandemic.
Raina boasts an impressive record of participating in 205 IPL matches, accumulating over 5500 runs, which also features an unbeaten century.
Additionally, he showcased his skills by representing Gujarat Lions in the IPL and donned the colors of Uttar Pradesh in various domestic tournaments.
