Chennai: Former Australian player and Chennai Super Kings member Michael Hussey says that Suresh Raina to him looks like a bright prospect for Indian Test team. Hussey feels that Raina has all the ingredients to make it big at the highest level if he continues to play his natural game.

“Sky is limit for a brilliant cricketer like Raina who knows when to shift his gear. He has developed that sense of when and which bowler to attack rather than simply swinging the bat from the word go. His temperament makes him a terrific batsmen and a great team-man,” Hussey said.


Hussey, himself has scored heaps of runs in this edition of IPL and has been the leading run-getter for CSK as he amassed 640 runs.

The Mr Cricket, believes, “It’s not so easy to make your way in to the Indian test squad as it takes a lot to prove your mettle. I have batted quite frequently with Raina in IPL which always makes me feel that this lad should do just one thing and that is to keep his mind clear and let his instincts take over.”
 

“There is always a scope for improvement and I have always find Raina doing it. Opposition will test you with everything possible tactics whether it’s a short-ball or yorker but you have to be prepared for that. I think Raina has worked on that issue a lot and batting with him for quality of time in all the seasons of IPL makes my belief much stronger on Raina’s hard-work. He does smash those shorter balls for fours and sixes which shows that he is growing from strength to strength”, the 37-year-old concluded.
