Suresh Raina told his caste on live TV, faced heavy criticism
Former India cricketer Suresh Raina is in controversy due to one of his statements. During a live cricket commentary, he revealed his ethnic identity, saying, “I am also a Brahmin.” The video of his statement is going viral on social media and he is also being criticized for this. Suresh Raina was invited to commentary in the opening match of the TNPL cricket tournament being played in Tamil Nadu. This match was played on Monday.
Suresh Raina, 34, retired from international cricket in August last year on the same day that former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said goodbye to cricket. Coming from a Kashmiri family, Suresh Raina was born in Muradnagar, Uttar Pradesh. He entered international cricket in the year 2005 and at the age of just 19, he made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka.
He was included in the Indian team that became the world champion in 2011. He also got the opportunity to vice-captain and captain the Indian cricket team. Raina has appeared in 226 ODIs, 18 Test matches and 78 T20 matches for India. These days he is seen doing commentary in many big cricket tournaments.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
