I Wanted to Stay Till End and Finish Off the Game - Raina


Mumbai, May 25 (PTI) After guiding defending champions Chennai Super Kings to their third IPL final in four seasons, Suresh Raina said his aim was to stay till the end and win the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the play-off qualifier.

"I knew it was important to stay till the end. Zaheer Khan was bowling well, but I had to play my shots. I stayed positive. It was important to believe in myself and play my natural shots. I wanted to finish the game for the team," said the left-handed Raina, who remained unbeaten on a brilliant 50-ball 73 that included six sixes and four fours.

Riding on Raina's innings and a 10-ball 28 by Albie Morkel, the Super Kings overhauled the target of 176 with two balls to spare at the Wankhede Stadium last nght.
