Suresh Raina who hasn't played for India in over a year believes that he can be the answer to India's middle-order conundrum and can be the number 4 batsman for the country. In an interview to The Hindu, the 32-year-old said that he has batted in that slot before and delivered. Raina added that with 2 T20 World Cups coming up, he is eyeing a comeback to the national side. Despite trying various players in that position, number 4 slot continues to be an area of concern for India.

Djokovic is now the first player in the last 50 years to win all the 4 Grand slams at least twice in his glorious career.

Tennis fans couldn't have asked for a better French Open final as a relentless Novak&nbsp;Djokovic&nbsp;came back from 2 sets down to beat Greece's&nbsp;Stefanos Tsitsipas&nbsp;in a marathon on Sunday night. With a crazy win, the Serbian has now 19 Grand Slam singles titles, 1 less than Roger Federer&nbsp;and Rafael Nadal.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Tsitsipas, who had become the first Greek player to enter the final of the Major, brought out his best against an in-form Djokovic&nbsp;and took the first 2 sets 7-6, 6-2. That's when the world number 1 from Serbia staged a brilliant fightback and&nbsp;bounced back to win the next three 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.
Victory at the 2021 Roland Garros&nbsp;made&nbsp;Djokovic&nbsp;the first player in last 52 years to win all 4 Grand slams at least twice.&nbsp;

The all-rounder had also picked up 2 wickets for just 22 runs. Jadeja&nbsp;and Rvichandran Ashwin&nbsp;don't usually play together in overseas Tests and Jadu's&nbsp;performance may have made a strong case for him to be India's first choice spinner come June 18.
