MS Dhoni shocked the cricketing world on 15 August 2020 by announcing his retirement from the international arena. What followed Dhoni’s retirement, who had captained India to the No 1 spot in Tests, victories in ICC ODI and T20 World Cups and ICC Champions Trophy, was the sudden announcement from Suresh Raina, just 30 minutes later, that he was also retiring from international cricket. The fact that Raina retired so young stunned the cricketer fraternity even if the left-handed batter was not in the Team India squad at the time of taking the call. Raina has now explained, in a conversation with Sports Tak, his decision to retire from international cricket immediately after Dhoni did the same.
