Suresh Raina is an Indian professional cricketer who has a proved himself an invaluable player in limited-over formats of the game. He was a member of the Indian Premiere League (IPL) team Gujarat Lions. Currently, he plays for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and has previously played for Chennai Super Kings for eight seasons. He has never missed a match for his original IPL team, CSK. He is exceptionally talented in T20 matches, which he has proved through his remarkable consistency in the IPL, scoring the most runs in the history of the competition. As a result, he is often called to strengthen the Indian T20 side even if he is out of the ODI or Test teams. However, his performance in Test and ODI formats have been inconsistent to say the least. Despite gaining attention early in his youth for his superb domestic career, he has been unable to replicate the same success in the international sphere. Nevertheless, he has often times proved his worth as a lower-middle order batsman, a terrific fielder and an occasional bowler, and had significant contribution in India's second World Cup win in 2011.
