Raina shines as India claim Twenty20 series against South Africa

The way we played in Tests and one-dayers, we looked so calm.

Skipper Harmanpreet on her part spoke about how the series win will bolster their confidence as they get ready to take on Australia and England at home. That's an unbelievable feeling. "Coming back to one-day spot, I think I've done well at No. 5".

Cape Town, Feb 25 (PTI) India never backed down in adverse situations and played an aggressive brand of cricket to emerge as deserving winners in the limited over series, said stand-in captain Rohit Sharma. We showed what we can achieve as a team in South Africa.

Suresh Raina smashed a quickfire 43 and took a wicket as India held their nerve to beat South Africa by seven runs in the third Twenty20 worldwide in Cape Town. He got rid of Rohit with a top-class delivery that came in and trapped him plumb in front of the wickets. Each and every session, I was doing in the gym, on the field, I was just (thinking) when I am going to play for India again. "I worked really hard on my game and my mental toughness". That's what Indian team does. "Yes we lost the series but it was all close", he said. No team has ever done it before. We tried to keep the ball on the stumps.

Even if they go on to embark on an undefeated campaign in the tri-series (four matches plus the final), India still can not surge ahead of Pakistan and Australia in the next month. Shardul still does need to up his game and work on certain areas if he wants to make it from the bench to the team on a regular basis.

Raina, whose career is in a very different stage compared to Bhuvneshwar's, yet again stressed the importance of the opportunity to play, and was grateful to Virat Kohli for giving him the No. 3 spot. Stand-in-skipper Rohit Sharma-led side held their nerves at crucial junctures, especially the late strike by debutant Christiaan Jonker to emerge victorious. "It's really a huge achievement to do well continuously in Test cricket and Virat should be a really proud man to have led his side to such success in this format". Batting at 3, he was brilliant in 20-20, and gave me the license to go after all the bowlers. Virat Kohli's boys had mixed result in two matches.

Raina said, "It is important to win a trophy first and important to go out there as a team mindset". He was well supported by opener Shikhar Dhawan (323 runs). What made the interaction uncomfortable was Dhoni's comment that he wanted the question to come from an India journalist so that he could ask if he had a "son or a brother who is a wicketkeeper" who could play in his stead. I just looked to enjoy myself and express my shots.

"You need to show intent in the first six overs". I definitely thought 170 was chaseable. "You can put a lot of bowlers back easily if you have wickets in hand and you can execute later on", he said. They have also been at the top two times before under Kohli - in January-February 2016 and in August 2016. "With 171, when you have Bhuvi, Bumrah and Hardik, you can easily defend with the good fielding unit we have", he added. But all he managed was to give away 16 runs from the lone over that he got in the game. We bowled really well.

"Our bowlers bowled lots of variations". She hit another couple of sixes - one off off-break bowler Raisibe Ntozakhe and other off rival captain Dane van Niekerk - both over long-on.
