Suresh boy! I thought you had a bit more in you: Yuvraj Singh On Suresh Raina's Retirement

Suresh Raina shocked one and all when he decided to follow the path chosen by his friend, the legendary MS Dhoni, by announcing his retirement from international cricket at the age of 33.

And, just like all of us, Yuvraj Singh, former Indian swashbuckling middle-order batsman, also feels that the southpaw still had a lot to offer to Indian cricket.

“Suresh boy! I thought you had a bit more in you! Yuvraj Singh wrote on Twitter.

Yuvraj Singh further went on to laud Suresh Raina for the uncountable important innings that he played for his team in white-ball cricket.

He also went on to reminisce about their match-winning partnership against Australia in the 2011 World Cup quarterfinal, where Raina played a perfect foil to Yuvraj.
