The fielding maestro was a refreshing change to the mindset regarding fielding among the Indian fans at the time.
His iconic knock of 123 off 96 balls against the Kiwis to help India secure an insane victory from out of nowhere when India were at 188/5 still remains a reason why he was one that stepped up when the team needed it the most.
At one point when India were struggling to find a pace-bowling all-rounder, Stuary Binny came to the party, despite not doing well, his iconic figures of 6/4 against Bangladesh is still a memorable one.
Despite not featuring the Indian side for long, no one can forget the iconic last over he bowled against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup finals in 2008.
His Test debut was iconic to say the least. Imagine taking a seven wicket haul against a batting lineup consisting with the likes of Hayden, Ponting, Clarke, Hussey, Watson etc.
His knock of 29 against Bangladesh in the Nidahas Trophy Final still is remembered by the fans today. When victory seemed very distant, DK did the herculean task of bringing the team home.
His aggression was something that caught the eyes of everyone, including his infamous dance after smacking Andre Nel for a six. But that did not diminish his quality as he was one of India's most reliable bowlers in all-formats.
The skilled left-arm spinner was part of the now defunct franchise, Deccan Chargers where he won the purple cap for most wickets. Who can forget his infamous 6/72 helping India secure an epic comeback over the West Indies.
One of cricket's unfortunate talents who was not able to make a long career in international cricket, Rayudu's has had many great knocks but one that comes to mind is his 121 off 118 deliveries against Sri Lanka.
His unorthodox action and his two four-wicket hauls to help secure an iconic tri-nation tournament featuring Australia and Sri Lanka.
