Indian batsman Suresh Raina has said that he is confident ahead of the tough South African tour.
India will play Test and One Day series against South Africa and it would a challenge for the Indians to clinch a victory away from home. India is the number one ranked Test team in the world but they have always received criticism for not winning many series
away from home.
Though their performance in other countries has improved, yet they have not won many Test series against major teams. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 could find difficult to beat at home.
For India, their batsmen would have to play a major role for their success in the series. India has always been considered a batting side, and in most of their victories their batsmen have played a major role. From Dravid to Sehwag, India has produced some
of the most prolific and devastating batsmen of modern times.
Suresh Raina is one player, who in recent times, has performed well for India and his ability to score quickly has been quite effective for India. Suresh Raina has said that South African series is going to be an important series for him. He also labelled
it as a great challenge. South Africa, after drawing the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, would definitely be in a mood to win the series against India and get some confidence before heading to the World Cup. Suresh Raina has played more One Day and Twenty20 matches
compared to Test matches. A good performance in the Test series can cement his place in the Test side.
Raina did not perform well in the recent Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 and managed only 26 runs from four innings. He would definitely like to prove his batting talent in Test cricket. Raina said that self belief, confidence and mental discipline are the
factors that would be important for success in South Africa. He averages 40.77 in Test cricket and has 1 hundred and 2 fifties in.
