Mohali, March 30: After Sachin Tendulkar’s departure and subsequent fall of wickets, Suresh Raina held-up one end for India scoring an unbeaten 36 runs in the semi-final against Pakistan.The left-hander spoke about the pitch and chase in a brief chat with the media.

On the target of 261 set by India

I think 260 is going to be enough. We have Harbhajan [Singh] and Yuvraj Singh, the wicket is spinning at the moment and I hope if we bowl in good areas, it’s not going to be easy for them.

On whether India were disappointed with the total considering the excellent start they got

I think yeah, but we had a good partnership in between, [we also] lost a couple of wickets in between. They bowled really well. But I think 260 is a very good total on this track.

On whether the side would miss R Ashwin on the spinning track

I’am there, Sachin [Tendulkar] also there. Let’s see hope for the best.

On having a role to play with the ball as well

Definitely.
