While he made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka in 2005, Suresh Raina had to wait five years before making his Test debut against the same team. The left-hander who was dismissed for a duck on his ODI debut scored a century on his first Test match in 2010 at the SSC in Colombo. “I couldn’t sleep the entire night because it was so hot in Sri Lanka, they had some big names in their team and it was going to be my Test debut,” Raina said. If we had batted then probably I would’ve got a duck-like my ODI on debut,” Raina added. Raina became the 12th Indian to score a Test century on debut and the first to score tons in all three formats of the game.
