Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina grabbed headlines during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after mocking former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi for his multiple retirement u-turns. The CSK legend commented on Jio Cinema, saying, "he isn't someone like Shahid Afridi."

The banter continued when Afridi was named an ambassador for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Raina took another sly dig, responding to a Pakistani journalist's remark: "I'm not an ICC ambassador, but I have the 2011 World Cup at my house.

Remember the game at Mohali? Hope it brings back some unforgettable memories for you." Raina later deleted this tweet.

Afridi addressed the situation by calling Raina, who subsequently removed the tweet. Afridi discussed their bond, referring to Raina as his younger brother. “I have shared many cricket moments with Suresh Raina. He is a good person. "

"Sometimes, lighthearted banter happens. After seeing his post on social media, I spoke with him, and he understood the situation like a younger brother. He agreed to delete the tweet. It's all good; these things happen. Great individuals acknowledge and rectify their mistakes," Afridi said.

Despite this playful banter, Suresh Raina and Shahid Afridi share a good bond off-field while they remain competitive on-field.
