In India, cricket is worshipped by people, and many aspire to play the sport professionally. With the advent of franchise leagues in every state and also the Indian Premier League (IPL), opportunities to make a career in the sport have increased. 

However, cricket is not a very affordable sport for many in the country. While some Indian cricketers come from privileged backgrounds, others have to make many sacrifices in order to realise their dreams. On this note, let's take a look at 10 famous Indian cricketers and their fathers' occupations.

10 famous Indian cricketers and their fathers’ occupations:

10. Suresh Raina and Trilok Chand Raina

Trilok Chand Raina, Suresh Raina's father, is a retired military officer who hails from Rainawari in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Suresh's steely resolve on the cricket pitch is understandable. The southpaw played 18 Tests, 226 ODIs, and 78 T20Is in his career, scoring close to 8000 runs in international cricket and picking up 62 wickets.
