Has Raina revitalized wobbling Team India at Cardiff ?

New Delhi: Moving away from the humiliating test series defeat, Team India started its ODI campaign with a big 133 runs victory against England in the first one dayer. Now the time was to shift


Fast bowlers around the world may have been thinking Raina tiny for the short pitch deliveries but at Cardiff he appeared to have sorted the bowlers out instead of the other way round. He found ways to milk the short ball for runs, ducked at some with conviction and he once even carted it over fine-leg for a six.


Now as a useful backup bowler in certain situations and conditions, he also picked up a wicket of Chris Jordan who was plumbed straight.

Now there will be a fan's demand for his recall to the Test side since he has handled the short ball better than his teammates did in Tests but yes, you can't bat in ODIs like in tests or vice versa.
