Suresh Raina Reveals When Rahul Dravid Scolded Him For Wearing A T-Shirt

He reaped lots of success in international cricket with the bat and his leadership qualities. However, this was all was made possible on the back of disciplined nature. The former player could never see a player going off track or hitting the headlines for an unwanted controversy. And, Suresh Raina has given a glimpse of how Dravid used to prepare for a match and how he once scolded him for wearing a T-Shirt.

Suresh Raina recently released a book titled ‘Believe: What Life and Cricket Taught Me’. In the book, Raina did some surprising revelations with regard to Rahul Dravid. Raina said that he was a bit scared of the former Indian skipper. During games, he always wanted him to relax in order to give a good performance on the ground.

“At times, I wondered if I should just ask him to relax a little and smile. But I knew that this was his way of preparing for a game. He was in that zone where nobody could bother him,” stated Raina.

Raina also revealed when he was scolded by former Indian skipper Rahul Dravid. He said that back then he liked a T-Shirt with FCUK written on it. But, Dravid didn’t like the fact and scolded Suresh Raina for wearing that type of T-Shirt. Dravid also asserted that this is not the way a player should behave when playing for Team India and this gives the wrong message to the upcoming cricketers.

Suresh Raina said that he got so scared that he went back to the dressing room and changed his T-shirt.

“Do you know what you are wearing and walking around in? You are an Indian cricketer. You cannot be out in public with that written on your T-shirt.” Raina admitted that he was so taken aback and scared that he immediately went to the restroom, changed into something else, and threw that T-shirt in the bin.
