{{/usCountry}}Raina has scored 5615 runs in 226 ODIs for India at an average of 35.31. Playing in the middle order for most of his career, his tally of 5 centuries and 36 half centuries is a big statement of his ability as a batsman. He made a great start to his Test career, scoring a century on debut, but his persistent problems against the short ball meant he played a total of 18 Tests only. He has also represented India in 78 T20 internationals and is the second highest run getter in the history of IPL.
