Suresh Raina is one of the most selfless cricketers to ever step on the cricket field and his achievements for India is hard to match. He made his India debut in an era that produced many greats like Virender Sehwag, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh. He made his India debut at the young age of 19 but he had to make many sacrifices to reach that center stage. 

Suresh Raina hails from Ghaziabad but at age of 12, he decided to focus solely on cricket then had to shift to Lucknow for better opportunities and training facilities. He used to live in a hostel and then took admission to Guru Gobind Singh Sports College.

At age of 16 when most children are about to appear for board exams, Suresh Raina made his Ranji debut against Assam. He lived up to his early expectations and got selected for the Under-19 World Cup and scored 3 half-centuries which gave him the scholarship to train at Australian Cricket Academy. He finally made his debut against Srilanka in 2005. 

During that phase, he was in and out of the team but IPL changed his career completely. When Dhoni was appointed India’s captain, he clearly wanted fit and sharp cricketers and Suresh Raina was top of that list. He became a regular in the Indian team and even became the first Indian to score a T20 hundred. Suresh Raina was also part of the 2011 World Cup-winning team and his knock against Australia is written with golden words in Indian cricketing history.

Suresh Raina was India’s key player in the 2011-15 phase and produced many memorable partnerships with MS Dhoni down the order but his short ball problems always exposed him. He struggled with short balls throughout his career and eventually it was one of the reasons behind his downfall in international cricket. After 2015, he was out of the Indian team for most of the time but also made comebacks here and there but couldn’t cement his place.
