Earlier, Raina’s decision to retire from international cricket in 2020 came minutes after Dhoni said “consider me retiring” on his Instagram page. Raina had posted on her Instagram page, “It was so lovely to play with you, @mahi7781. With a proud heart, I want to join you in this journey. Thank you India. Jai Hind.”
The 35-year-old is among the few who scored centuries across formats and played 18 Tests, 226 ODIs and 78 T20 Internationals with nearly 8000 international runs.

Raina’s best moment in international cricket was a crucial unbeaten knock in a difficult World Cup quarter-final against Australia during the winning campaign of 2011.
The left-hander was a key member of the Chennai Super Kings until the 2021 edition of the tournament, but the southpaw went unsold at the auction ahead of the 2022 season.
