R is for...Raina

Raina.
Alongside Virat Kohli, Raina will be a key component of India's middle order at the Champions Trophy. His issues against the short ball are well documented, but the recent IPL showed he is in excellent form, as he averaged 42 with a strike rate of 150.

Surprisingly, Raina's batting average in England is actually higher than his career average, he averages almost 40 here at a strike rate above 100, and also averages 65 in ODIs overall in 2013.

Has the ability to cause serious damage if he's batting at the end of the innings, but it remains to be seen if he, and the other Indian players, feel the effects of a long draining IPL season.
