WC2011INDIA Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Whatever little I have seen of him in IPL has convinced me that he should be played at lower order in CT 2017. Will play a few crucial knocks for sure. Need someone who can accelerate and he can do that. Moreover, he has loads of experience and historically good against Pak, England, Bangladesh, all of whom we might face at some point in the tournament.
Ultimate_Game Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 As long as he keeps Rahane and Yuvraj out of the team I'm good
sourab10forever Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Just one small innings and the bugals go off.. Every player who play a decent innings in IPL gets to go to CT. Wah! G_B_, Mosher and DDfan2017 3
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 As of now kedhar has sealed the spot. Would be unfair to drop him. Raina will definitely more as a fielder than jadhav, but cant drop jadhav now G_B_ 1

Austin 3:!6 Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Always rated him highly. Definitely deserve a chance ahead of Yuvraj. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk StriKe, velu and kira 2 1

Plus the keeper in case MSD gets injured/rested. So clearly Jadhav winning the case against raina G_B_, tweaker, ipl is fun and 1 other 4
vvvslaxman Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 We have more inform players than him. SHreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, Rishab Pant, Manish Pandey. DDfan2017 1
Texan Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 We have so many young players performing that I am not sure if Raina falls in the top 2-3 players who can bat 5 or lower and start hitting. I like what he brings to the table i.e. being able to hit from ball 1, bowl few overs and field well, but looking at the IPL, there are some more contenders. DDfan2017 1

Sidhoni Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Raina is still the best option for no. 6 after Jadhav.
speedheat Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 We need raina against Pakistan in CT he is beast against them
Ultimate_Game Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Looks like all that talk about Raina's demise was premature. The guy is still a much better option than likes of Rahane and Yuvraj in shorter formats
chewy Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Would take Raina ahead of current Yuvraj and Rahane any day. Ultimate_Game 1
bowl_out Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) There is no open spot for Raina in the XI.. Jadhav has secured his No. 6 spot.. Toss up between Yuvraj and Pandey for 4.. I wish Pandey is the first choice, but I'm sure the selectors will go with Yuvraj.. What I wish for 4,5,6 : Pandey, Dhoni, Jadhav with Raina as back up What they will play at 4,5,6 : Yuvraj, Dhoni, Jadhav with Pandey as back up Edited April 21, 2017 by bowl_out Ankit_sharma03 1
Pollack Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) ^ Either way its pathetic middle order for slogging. Dhoni can't do shyt at no. 5 nowadays.At no 5 you also need to be good striker.Just in case.Dhoni will come and take mighty single,risky doubles and after match would ask did you see him running? Yuvraj is also past it.But I think he can still slog if he gets going.Problem is he rarely gets going nowadays.. If Raina is to be included he should be in place of Yuvraj or Dhoni(almost improbable though) Edited April 21, 2017 by Pollack DDfan2017, Laaloo and Mosher 3
bowl_out Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 ^But Dhoni isn't going anywhere. He's sure to stick on at least till CT.. Hope we have Pant in the ODI squad soon as the first choice keeper
Pollack Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 ^Yeah! In any case I won't give much importance to Raina's IPL performance. I dont think he can survive quality bowling.He is notorious for being IPL legend. Raina, Rahane, Rohit etc bat like possessed in IPL anyway.
