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

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.
