Sharing a video on Monday, the former CSK icon showcased his batting exploits in one of his recent net sessions. Rolling back the clock for the CSK faithful, Raina was seen smashing the ball out of the park while donning the famous yellow jersey in the nets.

"Growing each day in my happy place," the Indian southpaw captioned his post on Twitter.
