Suresh Raina made the T20 format his own thanks to his feats for Chennai Super Kings in IPL and for India in various T20 matches where his cameos during the death overs, helped the team out. However, his moment of glory came in the ICC World T20 in 2010 in West Indies.

India played South Africa in Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia and put on 186/5 in 20 overs. Though M Vijay was dismissed on the second ball of the first over, it was Suresh Raina who shined brightly. He scored 101 in 60 balls with 9 fours and 5 sixes to his name, helping the team to a big total. South Africa managed 172/5 with Jacques Kallis making 73, but fell short by 14 runs.

Raina’s this century made him the first Indian to have centuries in all the three international formats for India and was the first centurion in T20Is for Men in Blue.
