- Raina – Stability and Solidity in the middle-order
Suresh Raina is the guy for the middle overs. He is one who can go for the big shots sending the kookaburra out of the planet, more often than not. He has the ability to hit hard and unsettle the opposition bowlers. Moreover, he paces his innings and brings in a lot of depth and option. With Raina around the score board is always ticking, and at the same time he ensures he plays around the lower middle order. He can cause a lot of carnage in the death overs once set and his strike rate in the last 10 overs would have been crucial in Australia. The current Australian team that has second string bowlers would have suffered big time at Raina’s hands. Raina’s innings would have helped India amass runs close to 350 that would have put the Aussie batsmen under pressure.
