After writing a letter to former India skipper and legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni following his retirement announcement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has now written a letter to Suresh Raina. The middle-order batsman too announced his decision to retire on 15th August along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
In his letter Modi wrote,”Generations will remember you not only as a fine batsman but also as a very useful bowler who the captain could turn to when the situation demanded. Your fielding was exemplary and inspiring. Some of the best catches in recent international cricket have your distinctive imprint. It would take days to count just the number of runs you have saved with your alertness on field.”
Raina then took to Twitter to thank him for his wishes. He tweeted, “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 countrys PM. Thank you @narendramodi ji for your words of appreciation & best wishes. I accept them with gratitude. Jai Hind!”
