WATCH: Suresh Raina sets ‘strange’ record while batting in England after 4 years
Suresh Raina last played a cricket match in England in 2014
Almost after 4 long years, Indian veteran Suresh Raina made an outing for India on the English soil in the limited overs cricket. During the 2nd T20I in Cardiff, Raina came out to bat when the men-in-blue were in trouble. Despite getting off the mark, Raina soon set a dismissal record in his career.
In his 77th T20I match for India, Raina was stumped by Jos Buttler off Adil Rashid’s delivery on 27. It was painful to see him losing his wicket after getting the momentum. At the same time, it was surprising to know that the left-hand batsman got stumped for the first time in his T20I career.
