On 15 August 2020, Raina announced his retirement from all formats of international cricket.[11]
He pulled out of the 2020 Indian Premier League due to personal reasons.[12] On 6 September
2022, he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, including IPL and domestic
cricket.[13]

Early life

Suresh Kumar Raina was born in Muradnagar of Uttar Pradesh on 27 November 1986 into a
Kashmiri Pandit family, to parents from Rainawari, Srinagar district of Jammu and
Kashmir.[14][15] Raina lives in the Rajnagar neighborhood of Ghaziabad city. He has an older
brother, Dinesh Raina.[16] He studied in a boarding school.[17]

Domestic career

In 2000, Raina decided to play cricket and subsequently moved from his hometown Muradnagar,
Ghaziabad district to Lucknow, to attend the Guru Gobind Singh Sports College, Lucknow.[16] He
rose to become the captain of the Uttar Pradesh U-16s and came to prominence amongst Indian
selectors in 2002 when he was selected at the age of 15 and a half years for the U-19 tour to
England, where he made a pair of half-centuries in the U-19 Test matches.[18] He toured Sri
Lanka later that year with the U-17 team.

He made his Ranji Trophy debut for Uttar Pradesh against Assam in February 2003 at the age of
16 but did not play another match until the following season. He debuted in List A Cricket
against Madhya Pradesh at Indore in 2005 and scored 16 runs.[19] He played for India green, UP
under 16, India Blue, India Red, Rest of India, India under 19, Indian board's president's XI,
Rajasthan Cricket association's president's XI, India seniors, Central zone.[20] In Ranji trophy
2005-06 season he scored 620 in 6 games.[21] In 2018 Akshdeep Nath replaced him as UP's
Ranji trophy captain due to poor performance of scoring 105 runs in 9 innings averaging
11.66.[22]

In late 2003, he toured Pakistan for the U-19 Asian ODI Championship before being selected for
the 2004 U-19 World Cup, where he scored three half-centuries, including a 90 scored off only 38
balls. He was then awarded a Border-Gavaskar scholarship to train at the Australian Cricket
Academy and in early 2005, he made his first-class limited overs debut, and scored 645 runs that
season at an average of 53.75.[23]
Indian Premier League

Raina was awarded "best fielder" by the BCCI ahead of the finals of IPL 2010.[24] He played a vital
half-century which turned the final to Chennai's tide who ultimately went on to become the
champions beating the Mumbai Indians. For his performances in 2010, he was named in the
Cricinfo IPL XI.[25]

For his performances in 2013, he was named in the Cricinfo CLT20 XI.[26]

On 30 May 2014, he made 87 runs out of 25 balls against Kings XI Punjab in qualifier 2.[27] He
missed the fastest century of the cricketing history by just 13 runs due to a runout. For his
performances in 2014, he was named in the Cricinfo IPL XI and Cricinfo CLT20 XI.[28]

In 2016, Raina was signed for the Gujarat Lions after the suspension of CSK. He captained the
team for the season, and remained consistent with batting, scoring 399 runs in 15 innings.[29]
Raina had to leave for the Netherlands in between of season 9 for birth of his first child thus
making him miss his first ever match in nine seasons of IPL.[30]

On the occasion of the 10 year anniversary of IPL, he was also named in the all-time Cricinfo IPL
XI.[31]

He was named in the Cricbuzz IPL XI of the tournament for 2017.[32]

In IPL 2018, Raina was retained by the returning Super Kings for a price tag of 11 crore ($1.7
million). During the second game of the tournament, Raina suffered a calf injury, due to which he
was ruled out of the next two games.[33]

On 23 March 2019, in the first match of the 12th edition of the tournament against RCB, he
became the first batsman to score 5000 runs in the IPL.[34]

In 2020, Raina flew to UAE where the IPL was to played due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic
with the Super Kings squad but days later returned to India and withdrew from the 2020 season
of IPL citing personal reasons.[35]

In 2021, Raina became the fourth player in IPL history to play 200 matches, behind MS Dhoni,
Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik.[36]

He went unsold in the 2022 IPL Auctions.[37]He then became a commentator for the
tournament.[38]
Other franchise cricket

In September 2022 he signed a contract with the Road Safety World Series league and played for
'Indian Legends' team.[39]

International career

Raina was one of the few best fielders during his time with Indian team. He played in middle
order.[40]

During the semi-final of 2011 Cricket World Cup, Raina batted with tailenders to score an
unbeaten 36, a significant contribution to India's final tally of 260. [41]

Apart from a half-century in the first Test of India tour of England 2011 at Lord's, Raina managed
just 27 runs from seven innings. He struggled against short bowling and in the final Test was out
for a 29-ball duck, the longest in India's Test history.[42][43]

In the second ODI of Indian tour of Sri Lanka 2012, he was out for 1 but he came back stronger
in the third ODI where he played 45 balls 65 to hand India a five-wicket win and he eventually also
won the man of the match award for his performance. Gambhir too scored a century in that
match.[44] After the Tour of Sri Lanka, when the England team came to India, he was dropped
and his spot was given to Yuvraj Singh, who made a comeback after suffering from cancer.[45]

He was named as 12th man in the 'Team of the Tournament' for the 2012 T20 World Cup by the
ICC.[46]

His knock of 100 against England during England tour of India 2012–13 at Cardiff was
nominated to be one of the best ODI batting performance of the year by ESPNCricinfo.[47]

Raina was not selected in India's first tour to USA, where they played against West Indies for 2
T20Is.[48] However, he made a re-entry to the ODI team for a series against New Zealand.[49]
Later he was ruled out due to Chikungunya .

In October 2018, he was named in India C's squad for the 2018–19 Deodhar Trophy.[50]

In 2011, India toured West Indies after the World Cup with captain MS Dhoni rested and vice-
captain Virender Sehwag injured. Gautam Gambhir was named the captain for the ODIs and
T20's with Raina as his deputy. But due to injury, Gautam Gambhir was ruled out with Raina
captaining with Harbhajan Singh as his deputy.[51] During the 2014 Bangladesh series, he led his
team to a 2–0 victory in the series.[52] During the 2nd match of the series, India was all out for
105 runs while batting first. Suresh Raina and his team successfully defended the total of 105
runs, winning the match by 47 runs.[53]

Raina announced his retirement from all formats of international cricket on 15 August 2020,
minutes after the retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. On Instagram, Raina said "It was nothing
but lovely playing with you, @mahi7781. With my heart full of pride, I choose to join you in your
journey. Thank you India. Jai Hind."[54]

Playing style

Raina is an attacking middle order left handed batter. He had more success in limited over
cricket than in test. He has weakness of short pitched balls and throughout his career
opposition teams tried to exploit this weakness.[20] Also in Ranji trophy he has struggled against
short balls.[55] He has been widely criticised for his short ball weakness. He is part time off
break bowler. His favourite scoring area is mid wickets on side. Most of the times he plays
inside out off drive shot. While trying to hit on off side, he creates room for himself.[56]

Personal life

Suresh Raina's father Trilokchand Raina was a military officer in an ordinance factory. His family
left 'Rainawari' in Jammu and Kashmir union territory of India amid the exodus of Kashmiri
Hindus in the 1990s and settled down in Muradnagar town, Ghaziabad district, Uttar Pradesh.
Raina trained in the Guru Gobind Singh sports college, Lucknow in 1998. Raina has a sister and
his one elder brother is in Indian Army.[57]

Raina married Priyanka on 3 April 2015.[58] They have two children.[58]

Raina's uncle Ashok Kumar was assaulted during a robbery in their house in Punjab, and didn't
survive. Due to this, Raina withdrew from 2020 IPL season to be with his family.[59]

Raina received an honorary doctorate from Vels University on 5 August 2022.[60]
