Suresh Raina was one of the fittest players when he came into the team. He soon became the backbone of Indian middle order. For a long time, he was a mainstay for the Indian batting line up. He won many crucial matches for India. However, a slump in his batting form has ruled him out from a contention in the Indian team.

He last played an ODI in 2015 and had struggled to book a spot in the side since then. He has been struggling with his fitness as well. A recent report suggested that he was dropped from the team as he had failed to clear the ‘Yo-Yo’ fitness test along with Yuvraj Singh. However, these reports were later on shrugged off. He has been very active on social media recently, posting pictures and video of himself sweating it out to get his fitness back. He has been putting in the hard yards to get back into the Indian teams.

On Wednesday, he took to Twitter to wish India’s most successful women’s tennis player Sania Mirza Happy Birthday. He wrote, “Happy birthday @mirzasania, your positive attitude and love for life has been instrumental in helping you shape such a successful tennis career and sail through all the ups and downs. Have a great one my friend!”
