Virat is fit, positive and has the aura around him: Suresh Raina

Suresh Raina is perhaps one of the most stylish left-handed batsmen India cricket ever produced. He has scored 6,383 runs from 244 international matches for the Indian national team.

Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are possibly the two biggest names in India cricket. Both batsmen have represented India at the highest level and have been the finest of their generations.

In an interview with Khaleej Times, Suresh Raina opened up about his experience of playing with both the cricketers and explained how differently the two crickets approach the game.

“Sachin and Virat, they both score a lot of hundreds, Virat wants to win every game. And Sachin wants to make sure everything is very calm,” Raina said. “With Sachin, it’s always about his calmness. It was because of Sachin that we won the World Cup. He was the guy who made everyone in the team believe that we can do that, He was like the second coach in the team.

“And Virat, he has been amazing in all formats. He has been a very good captain. He has been hitting the ball very well. He is very fit, very positive and he has the aura around him. I am glad I have played with both of them,” he further added.
