http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s phenomenal middle-order batsman, Suresh Raina in a pre-match conference, has said that
his side would play their natural game, and would go into the fourth fixture of the ongoing five-match One Day International (ODI) series on Tuesday, July 31, against hosts http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 without pressure.
"We will look to play our natural game. We are looking good as a team and if you see we had a plan to score four- five hundreds as individual batsmen and we have done it twice,” said Raina.
Raina, who played a magical innings of 65 runs in the third match to help his side go one-up in the tournament, praised http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-Pathan-c1601 - his batting partner in that crucial match for staying at the other end while he belted his team to victory.
“I have learnt over the years how to bat with the tail-enders but luckily, in the last game I was batting with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-c64444. I know he is an all-rounder so he has done really well," opined the batsman.
