He had stated, "I want to continue playing cricket for two or three years," in an interview with Dainik Jagran. The ranks of Uttar Pradesh Cricket are producing some intriguing young players. I already have the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association's no-objection certificate. My choice has been communicated to vice-president Rajiv Shukla and BCCI secretary Jay Shah. He continued, "I'll participate in the Road Safety Series. T20 franchises from the UAE, Sri Lanka, and South Africa have gotten in touch with me, but I haven't made a decision yet.
Less than an hour after MS Dhoni on August 15 announced his retirement from international cricket, Raina did the same in 2020. Under Dhoni, Raina was a member of the world championship-winning team in 2011.
Raina had not participated in a first-class cricket match since 2018. He finished playing in the IPL in October 2021. Between 2008 to 2021, Raina played for the Chennai Super Kings and was a major member. Four championships were won by Raina with CSK in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021. He continues to hold the record for the most runs scored with 5687 from 176 games. After a player auction in which none of the ten organisations purchased him, he was released by Chennai Super Kings.
He retired with 6871 runs in 109 first-class matches, 80 runs in 302 list A games, and 8654 runs in 336 T20 matches, according to his scorecard. In 2002–2003, he began his senior domestic career for the UP back, and in 2005, he made his international debut. He represented India in 225 ODIs, 78 T20s, and 18 Test matches overall. In all three international forms, he considers himself to be the first Indian batter to score a century.
