Lousy Start For India Maharajas

At the same time, the team got its first blow in the form of its essential batsman Robin Uthappa within the first two overs. After this, Manvinder Bisla, playing the first league match, contributed 36 runs with the bat, while Ritinder Sodhi was dismissed cheaply and returned to the pavilion.
Storm Came From Suresh Raina’s Bat, Half-Century Left By 1 Run
Seeing the team in trouble, Suresh Raina came in the middle order and batted wisely. Giants captain Finch tried to get him out using a spin attack against Raina, but Raina did not give his wicket. He stood at one end and continued to redeem his innings.
After getting hold of the game, Raina started collecting runs with the bat in a stormy manner. He played a fiery inning of 49 runs in 41 balls. However, he missed his half-century by just one run. Raina scored 26 runs in just five balls with the help of 3 sixes and two fours in his innings.
