Suresh Raina, who is an exceptionally talented middle-order batsman, recently retired from international cricket on August 15.
He was also deeply missed during this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) that took place in the UAE. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) franchise surely missed his services as the side were the first to be eliminated.
The man has also been one of the best fielders of his generation and is the first Indian batsman to score centuries in all the three formats of the game.
There's hardly any doubt that he is one of the finest cricketers of all-time in Indian cricket's history.
Today the man turns 34 and is celebrating his birthday at the Maldives with his wife and daughter. Take a look!
