Is Suresh Raina the next Tendulkar??

Question

Personally,i like this young phenomenal batsmen...........he has blasted two centuries and a stroke-filled half-century against pakistan in less than a week...........he is showing great fitness and consistency.He has all the shots in the book....so wat's ur opinion??

Answer 1

G'day,

I don't like comparing upcoming talents to current or former great players (like Piyush Chawla has been compared to Anil Kumble). In fact, I just avoid comparing cricket players and their careers because each and every one is different as person, as a player and in how they contribute to the game both in the short-term and the long-term. That said, I agree with you very much and would like to praise Suresh Raina for his fantasic performances of late. In my eyes he has been improving since the IPL (where he had a few good knocks, especially towards the end of the competition) and has so far been outstanding in the Asia Cup. Whether people consider him the next Tendulkar or not, he is undeniably a very talented player who will go far in the game of cricket.

Answer 2

Very early to say.  It would take a h**l of a lot more than just two centuries against two minnow teams to be comparable to Tendulkar.  After all, Tendulkar has been playing for 19 years now...so how can we even compare Raina to Sachin?

Answer 3

may be but it is too early to decide ~

Answer 5

yes suresh Raina is the next Sachin.Because the Asia cup matches raina played well.so he is a next "Master Blaster"Sachin.

Answer 6

may be, it will decided after tendulkar's left the INDIA team

Answer 7

Suresh Raina is a good batsman but can'nt be compared with sachin.

noone in this world is like Sachin.

Answer 8

It is way tooo early to decide

Answer 9

I liked  his good knocks in this Asia cup,but to compare great sachin is something inappropriate

Answer 10

Suresh Raina is a very very good batsman but he has lot more to prove and do.....so it's too early to compare him with the "Master Blaster"!

Answer 11

Suresh Raina has been playing well. He is good. Only time will prove how good he actually is.

Too early to compare him with Sachin. We did that with Sehwag at one time.

Answer 12

No ways, I admire his good knocks in this Asia cup, but 2 of those were against HongKong & Bangladesh. I recognise his innings against Pakistan to be a really good one but he has been quite inconsistent in the past & just wait and see. You can't compare him with Tendulkar.

Answer 13

too early too comment..he still have to prove himself on the international pitches,bouncy pitches....short term fame shud not be termed as long term fame as that of sachin
