In the last few months, since IPL, Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has been working very hard on his fitness and game to impress the selectors and make a comeback to international cricket.
On Tuesday, he shared a picture of himself sitting at the airport before boarding the flight for Bangalore to give his fitness test at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
After months of hard work it's time for an evaluation. Off to NCA! Looking forward. #enroute #Bangalore ✈️ pic.twitter.com/3zWufsU8NJ

Looking sharp as ever, Raina looked dashing in a casual t-shirt, rugged denim and bright pair of sunglasses. Even former South Africa cricketer Jonty Rhodes looked impressed with the southpaw’s fitness and took a slight dig at him.
“U have trained so hard Raina that even your jeans are worn out!! Have fun at the NCA – great effort to get back into shape,” Rhodes commented on the micro-blogging site.

Raina also thanked the world’s best fielder of his era and replied, “Thank you so much Jonty Rhodes. Your appreciation always motivates me. Looking forward to see you and learn some fielding tactics.”
