Suresh Raina’s journey from UP hostel to five-star hotels

[sscomp32]

Another brilliant article, this time on the biggest team player i have seen, Suresh Raina.   

Quoted the best part according to me. 

In 2003, when he went to play club cricket in England, where he got 250 pounds for a week of cricket, Raina didn’t know English, how to use fork, and how to dress up properly. Things, though, were progressing rapidly in his career. By 2005, he had made his ODI debut for India, and was sharing rooms with a shy Dhoni in camps before series. Raina would sleep on the floor as he wasn’t used to bed, and Dhoni too joined him soon, saying, ‘Mujhe bhi aadat nahi hai.’ “Dhoni bhai is sleeping on one side, I am sleeping on one side and Niraj Patel is sprawled out on the bed!”

Living conditions in India in small towns are quite harsh
