Sydney, Jan 10: Suresh Raina's Test comeback lasted just 4 balls between 2 innings and no runs came off his bat. And fans started making fun of the left-hander.
Raina, who was playing a Test after a gap of more than 2 years, failed to make make an impression. In the first innings of the Sydney Test, he was dismissed for a golden duck and today, in the second essay, he headed back to the pavilion with a 3-ball duck to complete a pair, second of his brief career.
With two scores of 0 in this game, which ended in a draw, Raina completed a hat-trick of ducks. His previous Test against New Zealand in Bangalore in August 2012 too ended in a second innings 0 after scoring 55 in the first. In 18 Tests, he has 768 runs. This slump after starting off with a 120 on debut against Sri Lanka in 2010.
Indian fans, who are known to pounce on failing cricketers, today picked Raina. The name Raina was trending on Twitter on Saturday afternoon.
