Discarded Indian batsman Suresh Raina survived an accident scare after the tyre of a Range Rover he was travelling in, burst near Etawah on Tuesday. Raina, who is captaining India Blue side in the Duleep Trophy was travelling from Ghaziabad to Kanpur to play a match in the tournament. The incident took place in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, after which locals helped Raina to inform the police. Police officials then arranged another vehicle for Raina to travel and reach Kanpur.
The cricketer’s vehicle did not have a spare tyre and he was stranded for some time until locals informed the police and he was sent in another vehicle to Kanpur.
Raina, who has not played an ODI since October 2015, was ignored for the limited overs series against Sri Lanka. He was also not picked for the upcoming limited overs series against Australia starting from September 17.
