If by chance they refuse to play, we also followed their footsteps and stopped playing. And it looks like Indian cricketers, MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina had made a pact of retiring from the International cricketer together. When MS Dhoni had announced his retirement from the cricket, Suresh Raina followed his footsteps and bid adieus to cricket, leaving their fans heartbroken.

I have seen your hardships, madness, sleepless nights & your reluctance to settle down with any nonsense thrown at you. I have seen the amount of hard work you have put in and how true you have always been to yourself when it came to giving back to your game, people who supported you and everyone who wished best for you during this journey. You always acknowledged how blessed you are to receive the love and daith people have shown in you. And you worked tirelessly to stand up to their best expectations and deliver your best. We all know it's a world where you can't be perfect all the time, yet there was no tolerance or constructive approach shown towards even the smallest lacking you may have shown, despite all your contribution, records and achievements! What I truly appreciate is your resilience and the ease with which you always kept your cool to deal with any criticism or unfair treatment. I have always been proud of you and will always be. You achieved incredible heights but you deserved much more and you still do. You are a gem person with a golden heart who is always willing to give wholeheartedly. Stay the way you are! Keep shining, keep growing and keep giving your best unconditionally and rest will follow! We love you and are super proud of everything you have done. Love, Rio, Gracia and Priyanka."
