South Africa vs India 2018: 5 players who need to prove themselves on the ODI leg

#1) Suresh Raina

India v South Africa - ICC Twenty20 World Cup Warm Up

Suresh Raina was a regular member of the ODI team till 2015. He has been a part of the 2011 and 2015 World Cup squads, and had played an important role in India winning the title in 2011 and in reaching the semifinals in 2015.

Raina has an impressive ODI record scoring 5568 runs in 223 matches at an average of 35. He formed a potent combination with Dhoni and played the role of a finisher to perfection. His poor run started after the 2015 World Cup. He scored just 180 runs in 8 matches at a poor average of 23 before he was dropped later in that year

The 31-year-old has made a comeback for the T20 leg of the South African tour. He has often been criticised for being unable to play the short ball, and success in South Africa would be the ideal answer to that criticism.
