With the IPL season on the horizon, the name of Chinna Thala Suresh Raina inevitably emerges, almost like a customary ritual. Raina showcased his prowess by scoring an impressive 79 runs off 39 balls while playing for Delhi Devils against Rajasthan Kings in the ongoing Legends Cricket Trophy (LCT).

There's no denying that there's only one Suresh Raina, and cricket enthusiasts dearly miss him in that pivotal number 3 position in CSK. Nonetheless, Raina showcased his prowess by scoring briskly, batting at number 3, smashing eight fours and five sixes. 

Despite the early setback of being 16-2, Raina formed a formidable 98-run partnership with Callum Ferguson, steering Delhi to a competitive score of 164-6 in just 15 overs. It was Parvinder Awana who eventually dismissed the southpaw, breaking the stable stand.

Taking place at the Pallekele International Stadium in Sri Lanka, the match holds significant importance for Raina's Delhi Devils, who haven't secured a win in their initial three games in the tournament. Thus, Raina's remarkable knock arrived at a critical juncture for his team.

For his devoted fans, each innings, like the one against Rajasthan Kings, serves as a reminder of Raina's greatness, sparking a flood of cherished memories that illuminate his great career.
