Raina back in those days was the most consistent batsman bats in the team. He did not score big all the times but his 35-45 was almost guaranteed 80% of times.
Gives me that tension even when watching highlights, after more than a decade! That was Indian Cricket back then, with the likes of Raina, Gambhir, Harbhajan and the legends Tendulkar, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Sehwag etc. What a passionate match! Love this!
Feel seriously bad for Raina. I know that GG doesn't get credit, but atleast his fans speak for his innings. But no one talks about Raina's priceless contributions with bat in crunch situations whether it's the 2011 WC Quarter final or semi final. He's the real unsung hero of India.
These small innings played by Raina goes unnoticed everytime 1) Crucial innings in this match 2) Crucial innings in quater Final vs Aus in 2011 WC 3) crucial innings in semi final of 2011 WC vs Pak
Finally I saw a appreciation comment from someone in my life for that quarter final innings in wc2011 because we unnoticed number of great contribution of Raina. But that innings hurt me the most
Gambhir and Raina were the two most unsung heroes of that time...!!! These two had always performed brilliantly whenever team got entangled in a serious position...
Abhi bhi aisa hi hai... It's just that humans tend to glorify past a bit too much. Or hmaari bchpan ki memories bhi judi hoti hai.. Isliye past mein dekha gya kuch bhi acha hi lgta hai present ke Comparison mein. We still have got the future legends like Virat,Rohit, Bumrah, Chahal, Suryakumar, Ashwin, Jadeja, Hardik. Aaj ke bche 15 saal baad yhi bolenge in sab players or aaj ke Cricket ke baare mein jo aaj tum bol rhe ho past ke players or Cricket ke baare mein
Depth kuch jyada ho gaya bhai.... Rohit, jaddu in logo ne jitana chahiye tha match, utne piche tak jana hi nhi चाहिए tha match... 21 over m 133 run चाहिए the.... I think current ki team jyada strong or achhi h india ki puchhle batter bhi achhi batting karte h abhi k time m, or us time bas ek baar 5 wicket ho jaye uske baad dhara dhar kr k sab tu ja mai aata hoon wala hota tha us time.. but ajkl 11th player bhi batting kr leta h indian team m....
Raina has been very reliable during his early days of his career. Alongwith Dhoni being the support of the team. One of the true gems of Indian Cricket team.
Since the rift of credit for 2011 Worldcup, people have forgotten how good the gambhir dhoni duo was, gambhir builded up innings and could start gearing up with dhoni by his side, sad that there's a rift between the fans over them, Raina has always been an important person always played a role significant enough to make the team win but never got the glory, Harbhajan against Pakistan is a bomb..
@@__-si9ux world cup is played by many other strong teams like aus and NZ not only weak teams like your pakistan so get over it.also if you think india asked pakistan for fixing then why did pakistan agree... oh yeah theres no money to pay salary to the cricketers so did fixing with india to pay the salary right ..retard.....
You can keep hating gambhir for aggressively criticising players from commentary box.. But dont forget it's the same aggression which played a very crucial role in 2007 and 2011 world Cup finals and we miss that from our openers today ... He is a big game player.. Absolute legend!
Everyone has its share, but can you imagine the pressure which Bhaji has gone through he is not a batsman but he got sledged and reciprocated and then hit two sixes, also P kumar and Raina will always remain unsung heroes 🦸♂️
You forgot the highest scorer of this match from India again...Name is GAUTAM GAMBHIR, like everyone has forgot his contribution of scoring highest runs in the world cup finals vs Sri Lanka..😅
Whilst Gauti, MSD, Raina all played well finally Harbhajan stole the show for us. Well played Bhaji clap 👏 Despite all these fierce performances by us we can't ignore that was a superb grab by Akmal as usual brilliant catch by Kammu at 8:00

@@supratikchakraborty6079 Only in red ball not in white ball without a doubt till 2012 there was more passion and real cricket was that only we had proper batting and bowling all rounders who use to perform in icc tournaments and in series that team in white ball was far better than today ipl has ruined our cricket and the passion for playing cricket for India and cricket as a game looks good when Eng plays they give proper importance to test cricket then Aus and NZ as well
I hated Gambhir too much but I don't know why now days I love Gambhir so much he always performed well in crucial situation ❤❤❤ lots of love for you Gambhir ❤
Dhoni always a 🐐 . stupid Vk fans..kids..consider him a class with weak bowlers around look how he played when bowling was good 2008-2011 flopp because bowling legends were there.
Raina is 🔥🔥. I love how both Shoaib akthar and Bajji pa fights and next second shake hands like student fights lol 😂😂😂 I still remember that watching live match of them shaking hands immediately and Bajji complaining his bouncers ... Mutual respect at peaks😂😂
20th June 2010 still remember that day I was with my collage friend in a cafe named angles and demon and we were watching this match! Ahh the memories💙
Raina Always my fav, Never seen a better player than him, a clean hitter, handy bowler and a traffic fielder. Hope we find someone like him very soon otherwise icc curse is there chasing us. 2023 ❌ 2024 T-20 ✅
Not just he finished many matches he also helped dhoni many times by taking the responsibility to attack so that ms can stay and play to the last ball to finish the game just like yuvraj used to do it had yuvraj raina dhoni played together for longer period we would have won 2015 world cup and Dhoni's captaincy record would have become legendary like ponting 🔥
Dhoni is always selfish he never looked on Gambhir and yuvraj who played in tough situation but dhoni never said anything after ipl dhoni fans think because dhoni capitancy india won worldcup because of quality players like Sachin Sehwag gambir yuvraj kholi etc made team india strong only final match after Gambhir made match easy for india than dhoni scored
Gambhir, MSD Dhoni played well finally Harbhajan stole the show for us. Well played Bhajji. Despite all these fierce performances by is we can't ignore that was a superb grab by Akmal as usual brilliant catch by Kammu at 8:00
Remember watching this match live...One of the classics with all legends like MS Dhoni, Raina, Rohit, Sehwag, Gambir, virat, Bhajji, Afridi, Shoiab aktar, etc...Ind Vs Pak always goes down the wire invariably and the thrill of watching the match live is something that is hard to match..
That's why I respected Afridi. Passion is good for any game. We all want to win. Some aggression is needed. But Afridi was always classy in defeat too. A great captain. Edit: And BTW I am an Indian. But I don't hesitate from appreciating any great player. Afridi gave a lot to Cricket.
Watched it live. Was kid back then. I was screaming at top of my voice when Raina's wicket fell. My uncle said don't scream otherwise I'll turn the TV off. Hahahahaha good memories
