#4 More than a handy bowler
With Hardik Pandya not being able to complete his quota of overs with efficiency, India is in need of a player who can be a genuine sixth bowling option and can also bat in the middle order. Raina fills all those requirements. With over 35 wickets and an economy of 5 in 98 innings, he is more than a handy bowling option. Since India has been fielding two wrist spinners in the form of Kuldeep and Chahal, Raina can be the only finger spinner in the team. He is very effective if the pitch offers assistance to the spinners.
