Rank your top #5 favorite Indian Cricketers !!!

[rtmohanlal]

'best'  fits the 'favourite' criteria  for me.

 

Hence in the order

 

1. Sachin Tendulkar

2. Kapil dev

3. Sunil Gavaskar

4. Rahul Dravid

5. Mahendra Dhoni

 

all above are ATG players. Kohli has the potential  to break into the lilst.

[GolGappe]

I will exclude Sachin as he is above this top 5 non-sense.

Sehwag, Gambhir, Raina, Srinath, Zaheer

 

common theme between them...selfless...watching them play you always felt for them team always came first regardless of their personal circumstances...no BS like milestones, when out of form still

play their natural game, no silly following “process” etc

[Austin 3:!6]

Pant PR wont allow that. Beetle knows it. Anything to save her job

Off the ones I watched

Tests

SRT - Just could not leave the TV till he was at the crease. The batting god.

RD - The assurance I had when he was at the crease will probably remain unmatchable forever.

Kumble - Our trump card. whenever we looked helpess during a long partnership he gave me the hope.

Viru - for the sheer terror he had in the opposition team. 

VVS - The eternal savior. The way he stood up to the mighty Aussies and the reason we remained the team to beat even for the best team of all time.

 

LoIs

SRT 

MSD - Had everything a late order bat should have the game awareness, the temperament, the hitting ability. The sense of calm he generated while chasing was so immense that sometimes I still feel the same when he bats but then soon I realise he is not the same MSD.

Kohli - when we bowl first and our bowlers are getting smashed the feeling he gives that no matter how much we concede we are never out till Virat falls. superhuman ability to chase down any total. His innings in Hobart then 183 against Pakistan

Yuvi - The ability to rise to the occasion. Can never forget 2007 WT20 and 2011 WC. 

Ganguly - The captaincy, the change he brought in the culture, the team he left us with and was as good a bat as any in his prime.
