In another major development, Indian cricketer<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=+Suresh+Raina"> Suresh Raina</a> left Rhiti Sports and has joined <keyword id="2888320" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="IOS-Sports">IOS sports</keyword> and entertainment. As reported by Economic Times, Raina, for endorsement deals, has signed the pact for three years. 
 <keyword id="143913" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arun-Pandey">Arun Pandey</keyword>, cricketer-turned-businessman who runs Rhiti Sports and entertainment manages endorsements for Indian cricketers including MSD, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Ravindra+Jadeja">Ravindra Jadeja</a>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Mohit+Sharma">Mohit Sharma</a> and <keyword id="935097" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhuvaneshwar-Kumar">Bhuvaneshwar Kumar</keyword> and also Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice. 
 
As per the cricketer, he made the shift because he wanted to focus on cricket and commercials simultaneously. "I won't be the No. 2 player in this new company," Raina told ET. 
 Speaking on signing this deal with IOS, <keyword id="14587" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Suresh-Raina">Suresh Raina</keyword> said “I was in touch with Neerav from past few months and we had several rounds of dialogs. I have been observing his company doing very interesting work for Olympic Sportspersons. I believe IOS had all the requisite credentials I needed, importantly they have a passionate and dedicated team who understands the space and comfort that a sportsperson needs”. 
 
Raina, currently has only one endorsement- <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Adidas">Adidas</a>- in hand for three years. More deals with brands like <keyword id="44672" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pepsi">Pepsi</keyword>, Boost and UP-based real estate Company are underway. 
 
Neerav Tomar, managing director and chief executive of IOS Sports said that Raina had been under-marketed so far. Commenting on this deal, Tomar said “I am really excited about signing the deal with country’s premier cricketer Suresh Raina. We were in touch with each other for a longtime and finally we have signed the deal. I am sure we will have a great partnership working together. Raina has been very consistent in all formats of the game and has the flexibility to adapt and play as the situation demands. Importantly from a sponsorship point of view Raina has all the credentials, is articulate, has the ability and is not over exposed”. 
 IOS sports and entertainment, so far, has managed only non-cricket sports persons which counts Marry Kom, Vijender Singh, wrestler <keyword id="10633" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sushil-Kumar">Sushil Kumar</keyword> and <keyword id="157783" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Yogeshwar-Dutt">Yogeshwar Dutt</keyword>, shooters Gagan Narang and Heena Sindhu and archer <keyword id="86231" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Deepika-Kumari">Deepika Kumari</keyword>. Raina will be the first cricketer client of the management firm. 
 
"Raina's brand imagery has to be enhanced. He has been a little shy of media all these years so a bit of image management will be required," Tomar further added. 
 
The firm is eying an amount of 35 crore for Indian star cricketer in the next three years, the duration for which Raina has signed the pact. 
The business, as per the reports, would come from a mix of endorsements, licensing, merchandising and also setting up academies. 
"A lot of this target will be based on his on-field performance and his getting leadership positions in the future, including in the IPL," Tomar said. 
 
The 28-year-old left-handed all rounder has made 374 runs in 17 IPL matches in the 2015 season with five centuries in 218 one-day internationals and plays lower down the order, giving strength to the Indian batting lineup.

<ul><li>Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will be playing for the first time in a World Cup.</li><li>Ravindra Jadeja is likely to play all games, leaving Virat Kohli to pick one between Yadav and Chahal.</li><li>Kedar Jadhav is a batting all rounder who can be an alternative when India goes with three full-time bowlers.</li></ul>India is going into the 2019 Cricket World Cup, with three spinners - Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal - vying for what will almost certainly be a maximum of two available slots in the playing XI. For Yadav and Chahal, this will be the first opportunity to represent the country in a World Cup. The slots for other two specialist bowlers will be filled by the fast bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah, the best one day international (ODI) bowler in the ICC rankings, will spearhead the attack, while the second fast bowlers’ slot will be a toss up between Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Shami. Jadeja, the first choice So who does India select among its spinners? Jadeja looks set to be India’s frontline spinner based on his bowling record in England. Jadeja has taken 27 wickets from 17 games at an average of 27.00 and a strike rate of 31.50 - which makes him India’s joint-highest wicket taker in England (a record he shares with Madan Lal). Jadeja’s record in England also includes his performance in the 2013 Champions Trophy, where he topped the wickets chart. Jadeja also provides an X-factor with his allround abilities, particularly his exceptional fielding. Having represented the country on 151 occasions, including 8 times in the 2015 World Cup, he is by far India’s most experienced bowler. He is followed by Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, who has featured in 105 games. Kuldeep vs Chahal In different playing conditions (like in the 2018 Asia Cup) Kuldeep and Chahal would have both been included in the playing XI along with Jadeja. While the World Cup debutants have impressive ODI records, the faster wickets in England mean that captain Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri have the unenviable task of choosing between them.

Kuldeep also has a better record in the past year - he has taken 48 wickets from 24 matches at an average of 23.14 while Chahal has taken 29 wickets from 18 games at 28.72. On the other hand, Kuldeep had a forgetful time in the Indian Premier League, taking 4 wickets from 9 nines for the Kolkata Knight Riders before being dropped for the last 5 matches, while the legspin of Chahal fetched him 18 wickets from 14 games for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rotation as an option Considering the tournament schedule - which <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/cricket-world-cup-2019-will-be-played-in-the-same-format-as-the-one-in-1992/articleshow/69428438.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">replicates the format in the 1992 World Cup</a>, with all teams playing against each other in the league phase - India may also be tempted to rotate its three spinners based on the opponent and ground conditions. India could then take an informed call on their No. 2 spinner based on how Kuldeep and Chahal fare. The Kedar Jadhav factor The unlikely evolution of Kedar Jadhav’s offspin provides India with an additional option as the 6th bowler, and he could be yet another hurdle to Yadav and Chahal-- especially in case India decides to shore up their batting and select only three specialist bowlers (Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar/Shami, and Jadeja). Jadhav, Pandya, and Vijay Shankar could then be asked to share the remaining 20 overs between them.
