Suresh Raina has set a good image to encourage the other Indian cricketing talents both on and off the field. He once again repeated that practice during the 42nd match of the IPL 2017 when Raina-led Gujarat Lions faced the hosts Delhi Daredevils at Delhi.

Despite Gujarat Lions scored 208/7 (20 overs) in the first innings, the young wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant‘s 97 runs off 43 balls (6 fours and 9 sixes) massively helped Delhi Daredevils to chase that target comfortably in 17.3 overs after losing three wickets. Surely, the best image of that match was Raina consoling the opposition star Pant, who missed out a deserving hundred for just three runs.
