10 best innings played by Suresh Raina

#2. 101* vs South Africa at Gros Islet, 2010

Raina's heroics in IPL had created a reputation for him as an ideal T20 batsman who could balance aggression with calmness. But big knocks eluded him when he donned the blue jersey of the Indian team.

Finally, the opportunity came in the ICC world T20 in 2010 and the left-hand batsman grabbed it eagerly. He came to bat on the third ball of the innings but remained strong deep into it.

He milked runs in the powerplays and then exploded in the death overs to become the first Indian to score a hundred in all three formats of the game. He handled the threat of Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Kallis with ease and slammed a ton off 60 balls.

The next high score in the team was 37 by Yuvraj and thus it was a one man show that routed South Africa.
