Indian middle order batsman Suresh Raina was injured during the practice session of the team later today. This has raised doubts for his presence in the third ODI against the New Zealand and the team management is considering Rayudu if Raina is ruled out.
Indian team manager Dr R N Baba said, “Raina was hit on the left elbow while batting in the nets today. He was taken for a precautionary x-ray and he is fine. He has a soft tissue damage and we will asses his fitness tomorrow before the game.”
Raina is out form for the past few series but the selectors and captain Dhoni kept faith in him. India is 0-2 down in the series and it is a must win on Saturday to remain alive in the series.
