The new age of Indian cricketer is Suresh Raina
Suresh Raina leads Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a 97 runs win, with his absolute mauling the hapless attack of Wayamba, in the ongoing Champion League (CLT20) in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. Raina plays perfect grim reapers by scoring 87 on the flat lightning quick outfield,
with short boundaries to top it all at Supersport Park’s pitch. Raina represents the new age of Indian cricketers, taking CSK one step closer in winning the championship itself.
Suresh Raina is a left-hand dasher of a batsman, who goes for the big shots with impunity and apparently always clears the field. His swashbuckling flourishing batting style takes him at the top of his game. This young Indian talent is also known for his
capability of attracting applause for his electrifying fielding in the inner circle. Raina has taken 5 years to cement a place in the Indian national team. After playing 98 ODI's, he made his test debut becoming the 12th batsmen to score a century
on debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, 2010.
His ability to find gaps and spent long hours at the crease, earned him high praise when he first burst through to play for India in December of 2006. Raina during his short cricketing career took an 18 month gap, as the youngster was unable to score a single
half century in the first 15 one-day international (ODI) he appeared in.
But the last three years have been more than prolific for this Indian talent, as he has made 3 centuries and 12 half-century. He has simply grown up to be a better cricketer, and an ever growing stature in the line-up as one of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s responsible next generation
batsmen.
Raina's recent achievement includes his flashy winning stroke play of 87 runs in the ongoing CLT20 against Wayamba. Raina was part of the second wicket 137 runs partnership, also the highest ever second wicket haul in CLT20 short history, which led his team
CSK to yet another victory. He joined http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Vijay-c1867, another Indian fellow batsman in the team after the sad dismissal of veteran Australian batsman Matthew Hayden, who struggled with the bat as he scored 10 off 18 balls in this 20-over game.
Raina's match winning half-century was helped by Wayamba lack of real pace and depth in variety bowling attacks. Raina worked harder than all other fellow team-mates, which includes a desperate dive to avoid a run out dismissal. After reaching 22 off 15
balls, this master blaster left-hander dasher started to smash some, slog-sweeping spins, driving and hocking medium pace. At this point his cuteness was not even required for viewers to be entertained. Every time he came to the crease the crowd started shifting
to the edge of their seats.
CSK surely looks like champion material with Raina’s inform batting power. With the inclusion of his batting power the CSK definitely are in a better position to secure the trophy to their name.
However, over the years Indian cricket has produced one of the finest batsmen in the international cricketing arena. Names like Sachin Tendulkar have destroyed many world-class opening attacks. To mark a place in the Indian team as a batsman is not that
simple. Almost every batsman in the Indian upper order has a minimum average of 40 runs per innings. The mere fact that this youngster is able to cement a place for himself in his national side, and the Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, CSK is not that
easy at all.
Born on the 27th of November, 1986 at Ghaziabad, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Uttar-Pradesh-c858, India, Raina has made a mark in the new age of Indian cricket. His aggressive batting style, sweet timing, and incapable drives have won the hearts of millions around the world. His
credentials speaks for themselves, at just 24 years of age and in just 5 years, he has the Indian selectors on his back. Surely his in-form master blaster batting power, makes him a highly recommended prospect for the Indian team in the upcoming World Cup
in early 2011. It is only time which would replicate his stature and improve his credentials, as one can only hope for the best. Suresh Raina is one entertainer not to be missed in the next ICC World Cup 2011.
