Suresh Kumar Raina ( pronunciation (help·info); born 27 November 1986) is an Indian

professional cricketer. An aggressive left-handed middle-order batsman and an occasional
off-spinbowler, he is considered as one of the best fielders in world cricket. He plays for
Uttar Pradesh in all forms of domestic cricket. He was the captain of Gujarat Lions in the
Indian Premier League, and is the vice-captain of the Chennai Super Kings.[1] He has also
captained the Indian cricket team and is the second-youngest player ever to captain India. He
is the first of the three Indian batsmen to ever score a century in all three formats of
international cricket.

Raina made his ODI debut in July 2005 against Sri Lanka at the age of 19. However, his Test
debut came about five years later, in July 2010, against the same opposition. He scored a
hundred on his Test debut. He was a part of the Indian squad that won the 2011 World Cup.
