Although the 2-1 series defeat to Bangladesh has generated severe critique against India, Suresh Raina , after the 77-run win in the third ODI, has said that one poor show during an otherwise prosperous season is not grounds to vilify the team. "The team's graph is going upwards definitely," he said. "These were the last matches of the season. We don't know when we are next playing one- days. We have done quite well in the format and we are still No.2 in the world. It's not that you become good or bad in just one series." India have won 14 out of 20 ODIs in the 2014-15 season, putting them third behind Australia and New Zealand. That also provided reason for Raina to stick to the same argument regarding MS Dhoni's role as captain. "You can't disrespect him and what he has achieved," Raina said. "He has won so many trophies for BCCI. At the same time he's a good human being, good honest man. One series can't make him bad. He's a good leader. Everyone loves him in the dressing room. There's still a lot of cricket left for him. So just wait for some time."
