A tribute to Suresh Raina as he retires from all forms of cricket

Suresh Raina, a former batter for India and Uttar Pradesh, confirmed his retirement from all formats on Tuesday. Notably, on August 15, 2020—shortly after MS Dhoni bid his final farewell—the famous all-rounder had already announced his retirement from international cricket. After Raina announced his retirement, the cricket community expressed their good wishes for the former middle-order hitter from India on social media.

Wishes from the Indian Cricket Fraternity

Suresh Raina received a lot of affection and accolades from his fans and others today as he ends his career in India. The Indian cricket community joined in by wishing the left-hander well on Twitter.

A Tribute from CSK

The team for which Suresh Raina played, Chennai Super Kings, gave the star batsman a heartfelt send-off on Tuesday, stating that the “streets of Anbuden” would never forget him.

Chennai Super Kings thanked Raina for supporting one of the most popular clubs in Indian Premier League history on Twitter in response to Raina’s move to conclude his career in all forms of cricket.

Since joining the team in the first season of the IPL, the former Indian star has been a crucial component of the Chennai Super Kings setup. He was well-known as MS Dhoni’s assistant at the franchise and was affectionately referred to as “Chinna Thala” by the team’s supporters.

Suresh Raina’s Career

One of India’s all-time greatest cricketers, Suresh Raina, announced his retirement from all competitions, including the IPL, on September 6, 2022. In 2020, he announced his prior retirement from international cricket.

Over the course of a 13-year international career, Raina participated in 18 Tests, 226 ODIs, and 78 T20Is for India. He also had the privilege of briefly acting as the group’s captain. Raina amassed 1605 runs in 78 T20Is and 5615 runs in 226 ODIs for India.

After being discharged by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Raina, who won the IPL four times with the CSK, was unclaimed in the IPL 2022 mega auction. He participated in the game commentary crew.

Raina scored 5528 runs in 205 IPL games with an average of 32.52 and a strike rate of 136.76, including one century and 39 50s. In the competition, he made 506 fours and 203 sixes while also taking 108 catches.

Following his departure from international cricket, Raina played primarily in the IPL and played very little domestic cricket. Raina has stated that he plans to play in overseas T20 competitions after retiring from all forms of the game.

He also claimed that he has had offers from franchises in the SA20 and UAE’s ILT20. Raina was a part of the 2011 World Cup-winning team led by MS Dhoni. Raina won’t play for Uttar Pradesh in the upcoming domestic season.
