In a recent World Championship of Legends match on July 5, Suresh Raina faced off against the West Indies Champions. Known for his signature inside-out shot, Raina attempted this classic stroke against the off-spin of Ashley Nurse but was stumped out instead.
During the fifth over, Raina danced down the track aiming to hit a boundary through the covers. However, Nurse’s clever delivery deceived Raina, and he was caught out of his crease by wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton. Raina, who had scored 19 runs off 12 balls, was dismissed after trying to execute one of his trademark shots.
Despite Raina’s dismissal, the India Champions secured a 27-run victory over the West Indies Champions using the DLS method, posting a total of 229/5.
Upcoming Matches and Expectations
Tonight, the World Championship of Legends will feature a highly anticipated double-header. The first match will see Australia Champions face off against England Champions.
