[Harsh Thakor]

This is my list of the most destructive batsmen of all time in order of merit.I have scaled in accordance with batting position nad oppositin.Not considered pure class or statistics but only ability to consistently massacre or intimidate  opposition.

 

 

Viv Richards

Virendra Sehwag

Adam Gilchrist

 Brian Lara

Sanath Jayasuriya

Shahid Afridi

A B Devilliers

Rohit Sharma

Barry Richards/Don Bradman

Gilbert Jessop

 Chris Gayle

Everton Weekes/Walter Hammond

Sachin Tendulkar

Rohan Kanhai

Gary Sobers

Graeme Pollock

Ricky Ponting

Saed Anwar

Inzamam Ul Haq

Ian Botham

Kapil Dev

Virat Kohli

Gordon Greenidge

Clive Lloyd

 

Viv on top as nobody exuded the authority of an emperor as much .Sehwag gave a new dimension to batting inventing strokes of his very own.Gichrist could put a stadium on fire from the word go.No batsmen looked more like a magician than Lara  who could be  mercurial for a duration unequalled.Jayasuriya  defined a new era by pioneering attacking aggression from the very first delivery itself.Afridi could create an impact of a blitzkreig more than anyone in his day.Devilliers displayed the imagination of a circus acrobat with creativity in regions of the sublime.Rohit is the master blaster of the modern era.Barry and Bradman  looked more like a cricketing machines than anyone .
