From retired cricketers: 

• Sehwag (attitude towards cricket. When others would slow down near a landmark, he would go for a 6)

Others in no particular order:

• Sachin (the 1990s) 
• Srinath (that spell at A'bad vs SA. For the first time saw an Ind fast bowler destroy the opposition in such a fashion) 
• Gavaskar (respect him for his test record and technique)
• A lot of cricketers compete for this position. May be Mankad, Ind's quality first all-rounder

(the list is dynamic so could change) 

[Turning_track]

Sachin, Dravid, Kapil, Kumble, Dhoni.

Notable mentions: Sehwag (an entertaining gamechanger), Yuvi, young & fit Zaheer, Srinath, Sunny G.

1.  Late 90s Sachin.  Never was another like him, never will be.  Sheer quality, unmatched class, pure sizzling talent, technique in a rare prodigy that actually delivered to his potential.

<daylight>

2.  Veeru - Daredevil.  Most entertaining test batsman I have ever had the pleasure of watching.  

3.  Irfan Pathan  (Injuries, motivation issues, bad luck whatever - if he had lived up to his potential, we would have had a world-class all-rounder for a decade, and a whole lot of overseas test wins.  Kind of like the one in Perth where he was MoTM.

4.  Anil Kumble.  Lionheart.  Bit boring, but won me over completely when he bowled with a broken jaw in the caribbean.  Made me realize how crucial he has been for the team's fate.  

5.  Bumrah.   Not just his skill and pace.  Never have I seen such a wise beyond his years, mature, seasoned bowler at his age.   And he happens to be Indian!  Absolute world class.  Such a tremendously quick learner, the guy is an old soul of bowling.  He's no 1 or 2 trick pony with the ball, he keeps evolving and will continue to do so.  I just pray he stays fit for a healthy chunk of time.  He can potentially go on to be India's first ever leader of a bowling attack.  We've never had a pace bowler who's done that.  Zaheer was kind-of that, towards the end, but to be honest, he wasn't up there in quality and pace as Bumrah is (or can be).

OP specifically asked for Indian players.  And goes without saying, match-fixers shouldn't be included.  So your top pick is disqualified.  Twice.
