Top 5 ODI finishers from India

#3 Suresh Raina

He might have been a bit in and out of the side over the past few seasons but in his pomp, Suresh Raina was one of the deadliest middle-order batsmen, who could swing games at number 5 or 6 with regularity.

The left-hander debuted for India back in 2005 and soon became an important member of the team, due to his superb stroke-play, hard running between the wickets and the ability to hit boundaries or clear the ropes in the slog overs. He has played at either of 5 or 6 on 159 occasions (out of 223 career games) and for a long time, he proved to be a vital cog in India's one-day team.

Although he did have troubles against the short ball, he remained a superb finisher for India and gave the team plenty of rousing finishes throughout his career. On the other hand, he is a very intelligent batsman and reader of the game, which made it possible for him to pace big chases accordingly.

In the 2011 World Cup, his innings in the quarter-final against Australia in a tense chase and the half-century in the semi-final against Pakistan were absolutely vital in India's wins in those knockout games. At these positions, Raina made 4108 runs and while his average of 35.41 might be underwhelming, he made it up with his superb strike rate of 94.13.
