- 34* vs. Australia at Ahmedabad,2011
In the 2011 World Cup Quarterfinals against Australia, Raina played an unbeatable knock of 34 in just 28 deliveries to take India past Australia’s total of 261. While chasing, India was brought down to 187 for 5 facing tremendous trouble as Yuvraj Singh ran out of partners at the other end. That is when Raina joined Yuvraj and the duo added 84 runs together which ultimately helped the team to outscore Australia’s total. Though Raina scored only 34 runs, it was very valuable in that context which took India to the semifinals and ultimately lifting the trophy after 28 long years defeating Sri Lanka in the final.
