From being the most important asset for the Indian Cricket team to having a downfall in his career, Suresh Raina has gone through a mature graph in his cricketing journey so far. Recently, he had to undergo a knee operation and a lot of his fans were shattered after looking at the photos of him with the hospital backdrop.
Well, the latest news for all the 'Kutty Thala' fans is that he is all fit and ready to play for the National team if given an opportunity. One TOI report released Raina's statement as quoted by The Hindu -"I can be the No. 4 for India. I have batted in that slot before and delivered. I am looking forward to an opportunity with two T20 World Cups coming up"
The No:4 slot turned out to be a big challenge for Team India in the last two years. Players like Ambati Rayudu and Vijay Shankar were tested for the slot. However, both of them could not do justice due to different reasons.
Finally, Rishabh pant had been allotted for the slot who also suffered to prove himself. When asked about Pant, Raina revealed his assessment- "He appears confused, looking for singles and appears lost". Raina also told that Pant is not playing his natural game and he needs someone like MSD to assist him.
Further, the CSK mate talked about the skipper of the franchise Thala Dhoni. "He is still fit, still a terrific wicket-keeper and still the greatest finisher in the game. Dhoni will be an asset for India in the T20 World Cup," Raina was quoted as saying by TOI.
