'One of the best southpaws to don the Indian jersey'
Social media reactions on Suresh Raina’s retirement
ESPNcricinfo staff15-Aug-2020Minutes after MS Dhoni announced his retirement on Instagram, Suresh Raina too followed suit. Some on social media were caught unawares, while others wished him luck for the future.
Really surprised by Raina calling it a day too….well…guess all good things have to come to an end. Raina tera Kya kehna….one of the best southpaws to don the Indian jersey. Mr. IPL for #CSK. Gave 100% whenever he was on the field. Go well, my friend. #rainaretires
