Raina started playing more freely in Virat’s company: Sunil Gavaskar

Calcutta: Accurate bowling and intelligent batting were highlights of India’s seven-wicket victory over Pakistan in their World T20 opener, in Mirpur, on Friday. But more than that, Sunil Gavaskar gave credit to captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for the good show.



Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina ensured that India chased the target without much trouble. The former India captain praised both. “Virat has been great. He has played well all over the world. Every team that he has played against, he has scored big runs.

He is a positive player and he has a positive effect on the player at the other end. He makes the other player play more freely. He is also electric between the wickets and makes the other person run fast as well,” Gavaskar said.

“The other person with him today was Raina, who too, like Virat, thrives on confidence. Even through Raina came in before Virat, he started playing more freely in Virat’s company and eventually it was a cakewalk,” he added.

Gavaskar, however, said it is too early to decide whether Raina has changed his approach towards playing short-pitched deliveries.

“I don’t think there is a huge change in Raina’s approach towards short bowling because, here in Dhaka, short-pitched stuff doesn’t go over the shoulders.
