Raina's fans flooded the internet as they sent in their warm wishes in large numbers, making him a top trend in no time.

Celebrating Raina's birthday, fans recalled his memorable knocks as well as some of his outstanding catches that he took while playing for India or while representing his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises.

The out-of-favour batsman is currently out of action as he is working hard to regain fitness after he underwent a knee surgery earlier this year.

During his time away from the field, Raina has become quite active on his various social media accounts as he keeps sharing hos training videos from time to time, giving his fans an update about his recovery process.
