With him contributing with bat and ball, India cannot underestimate the player that is enjoying a rich vein in form. Raza’s contribution can be highlighted by the fact that he also scored two fifties in the T20 series against Bangladesh.
Innocent Kaia
New to the international set-up, Innocent Kaia has hit the ground running with an impact innings against Bangladesh. Although he failed to make an impact in the second ODI, he was a crucial member of the first ODI team. Kaia scored 110 runs in just 122 deliveries. He alongside Raza out together a partnership of 192 that saw the home side take 1-0 lead.
