India on Friday suffered a set-back with opener Rohit Sharma being ruled out of the remainder of the series but star batsman Suresh Raina said the visitors have enough options to fill in for the top slot. In Sharma’s place, Ajinkya Rahane is expected to open the innings with Ambati Rayudu coming into the playing eleven. ‘Opening in England is always a difficult job and unfortunately Rohit has got injured. But we have a lot of youngsters and options to choose from. Sanju Samson is here and we also have Ambati Rayudu, and we have Murali Vijay coming. He is a Test specialist, but he has done well in one-dayers and the IPL. We are looking to be positive and do what we can do on the field. We will discuss in the team-meeting and decide who will open the batting,’ Raina said. Raina had smashed his first century outside the sub-sontinent to help India trounce England by 133 in the second ODI.
