Former India batter and 2011 Cricket World Cup winner Suresh Raina is one of the big faces at the new Sixty Strikes tournament, organised by the National Cricket League, USA.

Captaining the New York Lions in the 10-over blast, Raina kickstarted his tournament with a bang as he slammed a fifty in his team's first game.

A more human side of Raina was visible too, as he, along with his teammates, were seen welcoming Afghan refugees, many of whom were children.

Raina could be seen taking time out to interact with the Afghan refugees, proceeding to also take pictures with the families and children.
