Suresh Raina was one of the greatest match-winners for Team India in limited-overs cricket. The left-handed played several iconic innings in his career and was a brilliant fielder apart from providing a spinning option to the captain. Apart from his contribution to Team India, he is also regarded as one of the legends from the five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK). After bidding adieu to cricket, Raina recently announced the launch of an Indian restaurant named 'RAINA' in Amsterdam.
While he was busy with his new business venture in the Netherlands, the ex-Gujarat Lions (GL) captain is back in India and is enjoying his time in his homeland. The left-handed batter took to Instagram to share a video of himself in 'desi mode' in the middle of a training regime. The video has gone viral on social media prompting reactions from several of his former India teammates.
"From Amsterdam to Desi-mode Feels so good to be back home, hitting the grind and kick-starting the week in full motion! #mondaymotivation #believe #workout #reels #health" Raina captioned the post.
Here is his post:
Raina's 2011 ODI World Cup-winning teammate S Sreesanth was among the first ones to comment on the video. "Keep at brother..looking great, C u soon brother," Sreesanth wrote to which Raina replied: "@sreesanthnair36 thanks Govinda see u soon".
While the two of them were members of the ODI World Cup-winning Indian team, Team India beat West Indies in the third ODI on Tuesday to clinch the series 2-1. Having said that, there are quite a few questions which remain unanswered with regards to the team's playing combination for the World Cup later this year in India.
