Melbourne: There are never any airs about Suresh Raina. In a team full of stars — and he is certainly one of them, especially when he dons coloured clothing — he has always put the team ahead of himself. He is the busy bee that buzzes around the infield, chirping encouragements from slip, running to congratulate the bowlers and the fielders at all times, and generally the glue that binds the team together.

He is only the fourth highest scoring Indian batsman in CWC 2015, after Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, but he has delivered three crucial innings for India in this campaign so far.
