Suresh Raina’s outlook: A big loss for India
Strongly believed in Raina’s dismissal Suryakumar Yadav It is a significant setback for India from the Champions Trophy 2025 squad. Raina highlighted Suryakumar’s exceptional batting skills, describing him as someone who can score at a fast pace and turn games around. Suryakumar’s ability to play unconventional shots, adapt to different game situations and create breakthroughs with his batting will surely be missed. Raina also highlighted the challenge India faced in Suryakumar’s absence, especially in the top order.
“Surya was an integral part of the World Cup squad, he is a 360 player who can score 9 runs at any stage of the game. He can dominate the opposition and the bats in a different way. If Surya was there, he would be the X factor; would miss it. The onus will now be on the out-of-form top 3. Surya is one who can bat in any position”, Raina said at Star Sports Press Room.
