Undoubtedly, Suresh Raina was one of the best fielders India ever produced.
Raina was an integral part of India’s fielding revolution under the captaincy of MS Dhoni.
The all-rounder recently was asked about the best fielder in the current Indian squad. Raina was quick to reply that it is Rahane.
‘Ajinkya Rahane has better catching skills. I always love his positions while fielding. He has a different kind of power. His body can bend when he moves, that is very different from the rest,’ Raina told SportScreen.
‘He is a very good slip fielder, he judges the batsman’s movement from behind and anticipates, which is very important as the distance is not much between the slip fielder and batsman. He also practices like that so it makes it easier during matches,’ he further added.
In the same interview, Raina also said that he sees similarities between the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni.
