Former India cricketer Suresh Raina on 6 September has announced his retirement from all forms of Cricket.
Over the years, he has been a match-winner in yellow and among the highest run-getters in the history of IPL. In 205 IPL games, Raina has amassed 5528 runs at an average of 32.5 and a healthy strike rate of 136.7.
Raina would also not play domestic cricket from now. He has been the mainstay for Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket over the years.
Raina retired from international cricket in 2019 on the same day as MS Dhoni on August 15, 2020. He shared a video on social media on Monday (September 5) where he can be seen batting.
Taking to his Twitter, he wrote, “It has been an absolute honour to represent my country & state UP. I would like to announce my retirement from all formats of Cricket. I would like to thank BCCI, UPCA Cricket, Chennai IPL, Shukla Rajiv sir & all my fans for their support and unwavering faith in my abilities.”
