Raina reigns against Murali and Mendis

Happy with runs flowing from his blade, India's young middle order batsman Suresh Raina says he is particularly satisfied that he's been able to read Sri Lanka's enigmatic spin twins Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis.

Raina's invaluable knock of 76 in the fourth One Day International on Wednesday not only earned him the Man of the Match award but also helped India take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
