Turning_track Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 A rare gem in the middle order who used to give it all for the team. A gun fielder & could be used in different kind of situations. With his limitations still proved to be a vital cog in our batting order & made us win so many matches in crunch situations. Can't be forgotten for his contribution in 2011 WC & 2013 CT. Happy retirement to Raina ji. raki05 1
Vilander Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 So loyal. Great fielder murders pacers in flat pitches and had very good game against spinners. Very fine middle order bat. raki05 1

If we plan properly, shake up the coaching setup, relieve Kohli from captaincy duty and select the best possible squad our 2023 team can be better than 2011 India, much better. Only problem is brand value has a huge say when it comes to XI selection, and we don't think long term, lack ambition etc. raki05, nevada and Ankit_sharma03 3

Lone Wolf Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 What a clutch player. The ones we don't see much in Indian team. Explosive left hander in middle order. Apart from Nitish Rana I guess we don't have any replacement for him. That Inns vs Pak in mohali SF will always be immortal. raki05 and MechEng 2

Thanks for those knocks in QFs and SFs in 2011 WC, that saved India. Great finisher along with Yuvi and Dhoni. Thanks for your contribution What a Middle order that was yuvi, raina and jawani deewani. We ll never have such middle order match winners.

We will get ,maybe even better if next gen is groomed properly ,its not rocket science just top 3 needs to sacrifice some easy games/series,we will get there We are in a position we were never before,if we realise it and act accordingly,we can field worlds stongest xi in every format in 1-2 years,just need proper planning and vision Edited August 16, 2020 by Suhaan Frustrated, sergio04, nevada and 3 others 1 5

Something which Raina was blessed with under Dhoni but pushed under the bus for once Virat took over. nevada and sergio04 2
