Kutti Thala RAINA- The Future of Indian cricket

[MADDY]

:P Kutti Thala carrying Periya thala on his shoulder like in my display pic. Dhoni's eye for talent.

Manjrekar : harping on Raina can't face short pitched deliveries and crying for Steyn to bowl bouncers. Saying Raina should still prove his ability to come high up the order

yea, Dhoni is a very good leader and we see it with a reason dont we ....

Manjrekar - ......i dont think he knows much cricket himself :P

I give much importance to the attitude and energy than individual records ..This guy really have a great attitude and energetic . Keep up the good work Raina

Ramiz raja: You don't look to have muscles, but you still hit powerful shots. How do you hit the ball so hard?
Raina: Thanks to my mom, she makes fantastic food

With due respect, it was Dravid/Chappell who promoted Raina. I understand Dhoni is the best captain we can have and is supportive of raina but varalaarungaradhukku oru mariyaadhaiyE illaiyA?

irukkalaam, maybe dravid identified raina but raina keeps saying its dhoni's backing which makes him play like this - enna panna solreenga - naangale solladhingappa-nnu sonnalum, pasanga pugazhndhu thallidraanga...........varalaaru, annan-a thedi adhuva varudhu :P

chappallkkum promotionkkum ennanga sammandham?? avan oru "dark phase" in BCCI history

We're clearing refereeing to Dhoni having faith in Raina and promoting him up the order. Especially that Raina has few limitations and weakness in shot making. Really I should also credit Fleming, Kirsten and other (left-handed batsmen) coaches who have helped Raina too..

IdhellAm illAmalE dhoni nalla captain dhAnE?

Raina is a bonafide star - #3 in CSK was his by right, he didn't need anyone's backing for that. Doing well there has given him the #3 india position. Once upon a time, dhoni didn't use him t #3 - rightly so. IdhellAm dhoni doing his job as captain normally - any decent captain will do it. What keeps dhoni apart are other characteristics. IdhellAm normal captaincy traits
One thing though, dhoni has maade mistakes at #3 at some point - now he seems to have corrected that

It seems ridiculous to send Raina at #3 considering his vulnerability to new-ball bowlers. Sometimes he fails, and other times he works well (sometimes with luck & chance) - he has clearly come a long way with confidence & trust placed in him
