Suresh Raina Makes fun on Shahid Afridi : Team India's former veteran batsman Suresh Raina has given a big response to the question of coming back from retirement. When he was asked whether he planned to come back from retirement, he clearly refused. Apart from this, Suresh Raina also took a dig at former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, who has come out of retirement several times. Raina said that I am Suresh Raina, not Shahid Afridi.

Actually, if we talk about Shahid Afridi, he retired several times in his career and then came back from retirement. Shahid Afridi is still seen playing in many leagues. He is 47 years old. The special thing is that Shahid kept playing in the Pakistan Super League till the age of 45. That is why when Suresh Raina was asked about returning from retirement, he gave the example of Shahid Afridi.

In response to this Raina said – No. Then Akash asked – If you ever get a chance, then … is there any plan to go from retired to unretired? To this Suresh Raina replied. “No Akash Bhai, I am Suresh Raina, not Shahid Afridi.”

Hearing this answer of Suresh Raina, Akash and Parthiv Patel present in the commentary box started laughing loudly.
