Sureh Raina has been named in India's squad for the 2nd Test Match against South Africa, the hosts were thrashed in the 1st Test Match by an innings and 6 runs in Nagpur.
India were clearly affected by the fact that they were without 3 of their star batsmen in the 1st Test, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Yuvraj Singh.
Raina has been one of India's star players in recent times in limited over cricket and he has now played 87 One Day Internationals however he is yet to make his Test Match debut.
Raina has also played in the IPL for the past 2 seasons alongside India's captain MS Dhoni. India are currently ranked number 1 in the world in Test Match cricket but should they lose this series they will be overtaken by South Africa.
South Africa recently drew a Test Series at home 1-1 against England had they won the series they would have regained their number 1 ranking.
