The build up

A complex contradiction called Suresh Raina

On a warm day in Bangalore, where the summer usually comes early and has been particularly harsh this year, Suresh Raina rushed to the far end of the Chinnaswamy stadium and started to face some throw downs. His team-mates were on the other side, warming up themselves with some fun with the football. Some support staff were laying down the markers here and there, putting up the small goalkeeping like net behind stumps for throwing practice.

We have to be careful against India, says Shakib

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan on Tuesday said Virat Kohli is the key player for India, but his team cannot take other batsmen lightly either as they are all match-winners.

Even though the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina have not been among runs, Shakib said his team will not take any of the Indian batsman lightly.

The victory against Pakistan has been wildly celebrated. To be fair though, it was only the first step towards resurrecting India’s World T20 campaign that had threatened to go awry following the 79 all out in the tournament opener against New Zealand. Every game has now become a must-win affair for the hosts, and although they are expected to beat Bangladesh comfortably, they have to take care of the net run-rate as well. This, along with Suresh Raina’s batting form, is the pressing issue that the home team faces.
