The Raina story

Posted on 04/11/2006 in Indian cricket

Suresh Raina tells Vijay Lokapally about the hardships he had to endure while learning his cricket.

I enjoyed the hardships. I learnt to be brave and mentally strong to face anything and anyone. Seniors ragged me but nothing deterred me. I had left the comforts of home as a challenge and I never lost my concentration and focus.
