'Greatest friendship bond ever': Twitter reacts to Suresh Raina's retirement after he joins his captain, MS Dhoni

After MS Dhoni, Veteran Team India cricketer Suresh Raina also announced his retirement from international cricket on Saturday (August 15).

The 33-year-old decided to break his retirement news right after MS Dhoni announced his.

"It was nothing but lovely playing with you, @mahi7781 . With my heart full of pride, I choose to join you in this journey. Thank you India. Jai Hind!," Raina wrote on Instagram.

The news of Dhoni and Raina retiring came as a double shock to everyone. Fans took to Twitter to express their views:

Farewell to our two boys in blue on their retirement from international cricket.

Both @msdhoni and @ImRaina have given us innumerable moments of cricketing glory and will be missed immensely.

Wishing the very best for the next innings of your career and life.#Dhoni #Raina

Really surprised by Raina calling it a day too....well...guess all good things have to come to an end. Raina tera Kya kehna....one of the best southpaws to don the Indian jersey. Mr. IPL for #CSK. Gave 100% whenever he was on the field. Go well, my friend. #rainaretires
