India’s southpaw batsman Suresh Raina is celebrating his 32nd birthday today. Thus, the whole Twitter world poured in the wishes for the Indian talisman player. Meanwhile, Raina is currently out of the national team. Consequently, the left-hander is plying on his trade for Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy 2018-19.

Suresh Raina always has the ability to hit the ground running with his batting from the word go. He is a kind of a batsman who likes to launch his attack on the opposition from the get-go. Raina is one of the best fielders that India was ever able to produce. In fact, Raina was also a handy off-spinner.
