Suresh Raina: Cricket Ka Mr. IPL
Bhai, Suresh Raina ka naam suna hai na? Ek time tha jab Raina bhai IPL ke king maane jaate the. Mr. IPL naam bhi isi wajah se mila unko. Left-handed batter, chhota height ka banda, lekin aggression full on 
.
Shuruaat Kahan Se Hui?
Raina bhai ka janm 27 November 1986 ko Muradnagar, Uttar Pradesh mein hua tha. Chhoti umr se hi cricket ka junoon tha. Pehle Lucknow ke Guru Gobind Singh Sports College se cricket seekhna shuru kiya. U-19 cricket mein chhupa rustam nikle, aur phir India ke liye khelne ka sapna poora ho gaya!
International Cricket Ka Entry
2005 mein debut kiya ODI cricket mein Sri Lanka ke against. Pehle match mein duck (zero runs) pe out ho gaye the, lekin phir bhi maan nahi maani. 2008 ke baad se team India ke middle order ka ek solid pillar ban gaye. Batting, fielding, part-time bowling—full package player the bhai!
Raina Ki Fielding Level
Fielding aisi ki ballebaaz sochta tha ball kahin aur maaru! Jonty Rhodes wala touch tha Raina bhai ke andar. Cover point pe khade ho jayein toh ball unke haathon mein chipak jati thi. Kaafi sare diving catches aur direct throws maar ke match jeetwaye hain.
T20 Specialist – IPL Ka Badshah 
2008 mein jab IPL start hua toh Raina bhai Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ke sath jude. Dhoni ke under khelnge ye soch ke log excited ho gaye. Aur bhai, kya batting kari unhone! 5000+ runs bana diye IPL mein. 2010 aur 2011 ke IPL titles jeetne mein bhi ekdum bada role tha unka.
Ek time tha jab IPL ka sabse consistent batter Raina hi the. Har season 400-500 runs maarte the. 2013 mein 99* mara Punjab ke against, jo aaj bhi IPL ki best innings mein count hota hai.
2011 World Cup Champion 
2011 ka World Cup yaad hai na? India jeeta tha, lekin piche se kaun hero bana? Raina bhai! Quarter-final aur semi-final dono matches mein clutch innings kheli. Australia aur Pakistan ke against Raina ka contribution nahi hota, toh shayad final tak nahi pahunchte.
Test Cricket Mein Bhi Kamal
ODI aur T20 specialist toh the hi, lekin test cricket mein bhi apna impact dikhaya. 2010 mein Sri Lanka ke against apna debut match hi century se start kiya! Sachin, Dravid, Sehwag ke sath dressing room share karna ek sapne jaisa tha Raina ke liye.
Captaincy Experience Bhi 🔥
2016 mein jab Dhoni bhai team se bahar the, toh Raina bhai ko Gujarat Lions ka captain bana diya gaya IPL mein. Ek naye team ke sath bhi Gujarat ko playoffs tak le gaye. Leadership quality bhi ekdum mast thi unki.
Retirement Ka Shocking Moment 😢
15 August 2020, jab Dhoni bhai ne international cricket se retirement liya, usi din Raina bhai ne bhi le liya! Matlab dost bhi ho toh aisa. CSK se bhi last IPL 2021 mein khela, lekin phir unko team se release kar diya. Phir Raina bhai ne IPL ke liye bhi goodbye bol diya.
Abhi Kya Kar Rahe Hain?
Aaj kal commentary kar rahe hain aur apna business bhi handle kar rahe hain. Cricket se door nahi hue, abhi bhi domestic aur exhibition matches khelte hain kabhi-kabhi.

Raina Bhai Ki Life Lesson
Raina bhai ka safar bataata hai ki kabhi bhi haar nahi manni chahiye. Jab cricket shuru kiya toh ghar se door Lucknow jaana pada. Phir team India mein bhi struggle kiya. Lekin unki mehnat aur consistency ne unko ek legend bana diya.
CSK ke fans aaj bhi unko miss karte hain, lekin unka naam hamesha Mr. IPL ke roop mein yaad rahega! 💛🔥
