Suresh Raina decided to hang his boots from international cricket on August 15 this year after a glorious career that lasted 15 years. Raina played 18 Tests, 226 ODIs, and 78 T20Is in international cricket after making his ODI debut in July 2005 against Sri Lanka at the age of 19. His Test debut came about five years later, in July 2010, against the same opposition and he also amassed a century on debut in that match in Colombo.

Raina is the third batsman in the world and first Indian to hit a T20I century. Also, Raina was the first-ever batsman to score a T20I century when batting at number 3 position or lower as well as in World T20 history as he did it in the 2010 ICC World T20. He is also the first Indian batsman to score centuries in all the three formats of the game.
