He was such a talented guy! No tuk tuk in his DNA, was Go from ball 1.

Also good fielder and part time bowler.

Always energetic on the field

Could have been a long career and perhaps still be playing for India had he taken his fitness seriously. 

 

He went lethargic after marriage and gained lots of weight which led to his decline

We miss Raina. He could bat, bowl & field don't have anyone like him other than HP may be. Him & Yuvi helped the team balance, losing them has been India's biggest loss in the last decade.

 

Can't believe he is only 35, he would have easily walked into the squad if he was only fit.

Flamboyent batsman....him coming at No. 7 in the world cup was a master stroke in 2011 World Cup.

Very handy batsman in lower middle order. His contribution against Australia and Pakistan in WC 2011 are underrated. 

[The Realist]

A quality multi-talented player with a winning mentality who has never been replaced, and part of a great lower order with Yuvraj and Dhoni.

 

A shame as only 35 so could still be playing for Ind if had the desire/fitness given lesser talented old farts like Dhawan and Karthik are still hanging around.

Best IPL batsman in IPL's history.Ultimate IPL warrior.

[Number]

Dhoni owes a lot to him.

Really... I always thought he was really dedicated and fit. Just his technical short comings let him down.

Fine LOI player.

Probably the most selfless guy ever.
When he debuted he was just a timer of the ball (like Rahane), but after getting dropped he made a strong comeback and became a superb striker down the order (except for his short ball weakness).
If Pant can improve and become like him in T20's, it will solve a big chunk of our problems.

He was the most selfless cricketer and team man. Won us 2 back to back ko in wcXi against our perennial nemesis aus and arch rival pak.
