5 Reasons why Raina's inclusion is a must for the World Cup 

#2 The only left-hander in the middle-order

His inside out shots are a delight to watch.

Apart from Shikhar Dhawan, there is no left-handed batsman in the whole Indian batting order which makes it monotonous. Of late, India has struggled to up the scoring rate in the middle overs against the leg-spinners and left arm off spinners as their balls leave the right-handed batsman. A player like Raina can easily take them on as he is a leftie and the ball will turn in to him so he can hit with the spin. He averages a staggering 51 against the spin and is confident when it comes to striking.
