I can't rate Chutiyachokli very highly as a great batsman as he has some glaring technical deficiencies and lack of backfoot game. The way he got out in the 2nd innings is the same frucking way he has got out zillion of times in the past. He clearly has not fixed his technique during his career. The fact that he has struggled for so long (no other ATG has struggled this long; if he played for Eng, Aus or NZ, he would have been chucked out 3 years earlier) is because of his glaring technical deficiencies. Credit to him for still scoring runs despite this, but I am not big on him in any way. He is definitely not in my top 5.
1. SRT
2. Gavaskar
3. Dravid
4. Laxman (probably the MVP of the lot; scored in winning causes the most)
5. Sehwag/Vengsarkar/Vishwanath (can't decide; Sehwag was mostly a FTB, but a great one, but Vengsarkar and Vishy had better technique)
