Watch: Suresh Raina Turns Back The Clock, Slams Shakib Al Hasan For Massive Sixes

07.10.2024 - 03:41 sports.ndtv.com

Former Indian cricket team all-rounder Suresh Raina turned back the clock as he played an explosive knock to impress everyone during the ongoing National Cricket League (NCL) in the USA.

Raina, who plays for the New York Lions, scored 53 off just 28 deliveries against Los Angeles Waves. The innings comprised of three sixes and six fours with two of the sixes coming against Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan.

Raina looked in tremendous form as he smashed Shakib for two mammoth sixes in an expensive over that produced 18 runs. Shakib did not come back to bowl after the disappointing display.

Put into bat by Los Angeles, New York started off on the back foot as opener Asad Shafiq departed for just 3. However, Raina, along with former Sri Lanka opener Upul Tharanga (40 off 23), stitched a brilliant partnership, guiding New York to a healthy total.
