Suresh Raina: The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is going to start on June 2 on the soil of America and West Indies. For this mega event, the ICC has chosen Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle and Usain Bolt as ambassadors. At the same time, the latest name added to this special list is former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi.

After Shahid received this honour, a Pakistani journalist tried to confront former Team India player Suresh Raina on social media. But Mr IPL gave a befitting reply to the Pakistani journalist.

Suresh Raina made fun of Shahid Afridi

Actually, this whole matter started with a comment by Suresh Raina. While commentating during a match in IPL 2024, Akash Chopra asked Suresh Raina if he could withdraw his retirement from international cricket. To this Raina said that I am Suresh Raina, not Shahid Afridi.

Pakistanis were very angry with Suresh's statement and they started defending Shahid. Let us tell you that former Pakistani captain and legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi announced retirement 5 times in his career in 2006, 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2017.

Pakistani journalist took on Suresh Raina

After Shahid Afridi was made the ambassador of T20 World Cup 2024, a Pakistani sports journalist named Imran Siddiqui wrote on social media platform X, “ICC has chosen Shahid Afridi as the ambassador of ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Hello Suresh Raina.”

Along with this post, Imran also shared a photo of Afridi and Raina. In response to this, Suresh Raina wrote, “I am not an ICC ambassador, but I won the 2011 ICC World Cup at home, do you remember that match in Mohali? I hope this has refreshed many of your unforgettable memories.”

India had defeated Pakistan

In the World Cup 2011, India defeated Pakistan by 29 runs in the semi-final match played in Mohali and made it to the finals. Team India's legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar was chosen as the Player of the Match in this match. At the same time, Suresh Raina also played an important innings of 36 runs not out in 39 balls in this match.
