#7. ROARING KNOCK FOR THE ‘CSK’ IN IPL FINALE
Suresh Raina’s cameo against Mumbai Indians in the IPL final in 2010 had a lot of flesh on the channel that made the whistles blow in CSK’s way. Known for the knack of crafty standards of punching and counterpunching techniques, he could counter Mumbai Indians with an emphatic man of the match 57* of 35 (3 fours, 3 sixes) to help CSK win the title for the first time. Stitching together a 72-run liaison with MS Dhoni was the bonanza for the fourth wicket. Raina proved to be a lethal weapon who switched his intensity at a rather quick pace. This literally helped the Kings to score 168 and CSK restricted the flow of Mumbai Indians’ momentum to steal the spotlight. Raina’s impeccable knock will go down as the finest knock-in CSK’s history.
#6. LIT THE CANDLE ON LITMUS TEST DEBUT
Essaying a hundred in the Test match as a debutant is not that easy but Suresh Raina made it look so. In a match that demanded a hoard of endeavors, the classy left-hander showcased his talent on the Lankan soil in July 200. Raina went on to make his career-best score of 120 inclusive of 12 fours and 2 sixes that helped the team switch gears to cause chaos in the Sri Lankan ranks.
Suresh Raina will forever remember this epic knock as himself and legendary Sachin Tendulkar stitched together a 256-run partnership for the fifth wicket. This partnership proved to be a vital cog for India to come from behind Sri Lanka’s mammoth 642 to garner 707.
