5 Indian cricketers whose Test career seem to have ended

#2 Suresh Raina

Nicknamed as Sonu, Suresh Raina just didn’t have the luck in his favour when it comes to the talk of Test cricket. Suresh Raina has done some huge wonders for India in the limited overs cricket but just failed to provide the value for his team in Test cricket.

His aggressive nature of playing is his main drawback as Test cricket demands slow and steady innings. Suresh Raina made his debut in Test cricket on 26 July 2010 against Sri Lanka as the 265th player for India. In his 18 Test matches, he had scored 768 runs at an average of 26.48 which includes one century and seven half-centuries to his name.

Suresh Raina used to be a handy player for India with the bat until his weakness of playing the short ball became well known. Pertaining to his weakness of short-pitched deliveries, Raina lost his place in all the formats of the game. His constant failures and lack of patience to build an innings became his major drawback.

Hence, considering there is no place for him in the current Indian Test squad, his Test career seems to have ended.
