One of India’s finest limited-overs batsmen Suresh Raina turns 34 on Friday (November 27), and wishes are pouring in for him from all around the world. On the occasion, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh and Irfan Pathan took to social media and extended greetings for the former Indian international. Born in 1986, the left-handed batsman is a complete package in white-ball cricket who guided the Men in Blue to several memorable wins including the 2011 World Cup triumph. Raina is a sweet timer of the ball who could torment the best of bowlers on his day. Suresh Raina Celebrates 34th Birthday With Family!
Making his international debut in 2005, Raina didn’t immediately stamp his authority but became a regular member of the national team after Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid’s retirement. Be it scoring quick runs in the end overs or rescuing team for a top-order collapse; the left-handed batsman rose to all challenges which came his way. Apart from his batting prowess, Raina was a live wire on the field as his ability to chip in with handy overs made him a captain’s delight. Meanwhile, let’s look at how cricket stars greeted Raina.

With being just 34, however, many fans and experts urged Raina to break his retirement. However, only time could tell if we will see the swashbuckling batsman in the national jersey or not.
