Why is BCCI favoring Suresh Raina so much?

[gakgupta]

I am not watching the match but surprised to see the scorecard. He took 3 wickets for 30 odd runs and bowled the complete quota......Did he bowled well? or WI batsmen made him look good. He took some wickets in the Ranji matches as well...... Looks like he is taking his bowling seriously.

just bowls well in a match with 2 luckuy wkts and a thread is opened!!

[NareshK]

He bowled well. He kept it straight and the ball is stopping and keeping low on this track.

Why is BCCI favoring Suresh Raina so much? It really depresses me that this guy has so much backing when we have better players still waiting for their chance :((

CSK

He is a matchwinner ... Thats why.. Just going throug bad phase.... Tailunted guys like Nohit Sharmas were given thousand of chances after pathetic performances and you fickle fans are all against Raina going through lean phase... Raina is a must for Indian team as he is a genuine agressive matchwinner who plays for the team P.s- Reason CSK has been consistent in IPL is not cuz of Dhoni..Its Raina.... Check how many matches Raina won them throughout all 6 seasons... He needs to bat 1 down for Indian team

We can see the future. Fans like you want to keep being delusional and pick players on past performances.

Raina has done a lot for India in limited overs So given a looong rope, but he is getting to end of rope, he has to bat out of his skin in next 2 odis!!!

Oh yes. Quote his past performances in the tamasha league to justify his selection in the Indian team. :cheerleader:

Not an useless player. But his weaknesses are increasing by the series. First bouncer, then spinners,.

[wanted_desi]

Still good ODI player, but should play at # 6. Not a top order player !

[adi B]

CSK but then he is an honest trier though has lot of shortcomings especially against short ball

[jalebi_bhai]

His batting form has been abysmal since the end of the England series.......

His value is considered as an overall package. Great fielder providing good energy. Good finisher . Occasional bowler.

[KFC_Zinger]

At this rate I can't see him playing in WC

i dont mind him at all but he should bat at #6,he has to work a lot against the short ball and should refrain playing those brainfart shorts
