Former Team India cricketer Suresh Raina has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Tuesday. Raina took to the field for a fruitful batting session on Monday. One of the finest left-handed batters in white-ball cricket, Raina was released by MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the build-up to the mega auction for the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Nicknamed 'Mr IPL', Raina is the all-time leading run-getter of the Yellow Brigade in the world's richest T20 league - the IPL.

Sharing a video on Monday, the former CSK icon showcased his batting exploits in one of his recent net sessions.

"Growing each day in my happy place," the Indian southpaw captioned his post on Twitter. Raina's latest social media activity became an instant hit among the fans and followers of the Yellow Brigade.
