Suresh Raina eyes number four slot in shorter formats

veteran left-handed batsman played his last ODI against England in July 2018 following which he was left out of national side. Suresh Raina was once India's best number four batsman during MS Dhoni's captaincy and has amassed a total of 8392 runs in his T20 career. With two successive T20 World Cups coming up in 2020 and 2021, Suresh Raina is eyeing to make a comeback to national side after a gap of almost a year. Speaking to a news publication, Suresh Raina revealed that he was confident that he could deliver as India's number four batsman just like how he had done so previously and laid out his plans to earn a recall to national side by 2020. Rishabh Pant has been widely criticized after he has failed to fire for Men in Blue at number four slot and borne brunt of many former cricketers for his loose shots on field. However, Suresh Raina believes that youngster appeared to be lost and was confused about game and that a senior player should talk to him just like how MS Dhoni did with youngsters.
