PM Modi writes a letter to Suresh Raina after MS Dhoni, which former India star all-rounder shared on social media
Earlier the PM Modi also wrote a letter to the legendary Indian captain MS Dhoni and thanked his supreme contribution in Indian cricket. Now, after MS Dhoni PM Modi penned a tribute to the Suresh Raina who also announced his retirement on August 15 along with the MS Dhoni.
Raina shared the letter on his Twitter and Instagram where he wrote ” When we play, we give our blood & sweat for the nation. No better appreciation than being loved by the people of this country and even more by the country’s PM. Thank you @narendramodi ji for your words of appreciation & best wishes. I accept them with gratitude. Jai Hind!”
Emphasising on the fact that Raina retired so early in his career PM Modi writes, “I do not want to use the word ‘retirement’ because you are way too young and energetic to ‘retire.’ You are padding up for the next innings of your life, after extremely fruitful innings on the cricket field.”
“India can never forget your inspiring role during the 2011 World Cup, especially during the later matches. I saw you live in action at the Motera Stadium, Ahmedabad, during the Quarter Final against Australia. Your anchoring innings had a big role to play in the team’s victory.”
Raina will feature in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League for Chennai Super Kings and will look to play a fearless brand of cricket from here on because he is done playing for India and all he has is the domestic cricket and the global leagues to play.
