Former India and Uttar Pradesh batter Suresh Raina, on Tuesday, announced his retirement from all formats. Notably, the star all-rounder had already retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, shortly after MS Dhoni’s farewell.
Following Raina’s retirement, the cricket fraternity took to social media to extend their good wishes to the former Indian middle-order batter for the next phase of his life.
Young batter Shubman Gill said Raina’s contribution to game is invaluable and wished him good luck.
“Your contribution to the game of cricket is invaluable. Good luck on your second innings @ImRaina bhai,” tweeted Gill.
