MSD for that WC finals? Then you should add Robin Singh and Kanitkar as well.

 

anyway where is Ganguly? India’s best captain ever. Also one of the most successful odi opening batsman of all time?

 

No Zak Either?

 

We Should frame this post though. Only time we’re MSD is ranked over Sachin and Kapil

Clutch player who helped us win two world cups. Stood up to bullies and spoke out against bs without any fear. Take a bow, champ!

True but I was really disappointed he never kicked on to become a legend post that golden run of 2010. I thought he would turn to be at par with Cook and Amla but he just tapered off.

I am sad today. I know he was almost done but he gave us the best cricketing moments which we always wanted - the world cup, also major part of us becoming world number 1 in test.

 

I supported him big time and he was one of my favorite.

What a selfless person he still remains and I am sure he will achieve a lot more for Indian Cricket after he retires.

 

 

Thanks Gauram Gambhir.

He went through a low after 2011 high got carried away after KKR captaincy to be honest his form was going down and became a pokemon like you said somewhere he faded away after 2011 when he should have moved up the ladder.

He should be DC mentor.

 

Happy Retirement Gambhir .

Came in through during important games, but could have been much more. His numbers don't really reflect his potential and he is to be blamed for that.

What are you talking about?

 

Dhoni

Bat avg - 50

Strike rate - 88

Avg in win games - 70

Avg while chasing - 49

Avg while chasing and India won - 97

 

Sachin

Bat avg - 44

Strike rate - 86

Avg in win games - 56

Avg while chasing - 42

Avg while chasing and India won - 55

 

If you add the stumpings/catches/captaincy etc., Dhoni is much more valuable ODI player than Sachin.

P.S, I am a Sachin fan myself but MSD is easily the better ODI players among two. Dhoni is perhaps the 3rd best ODI player in the world after Viv and Virat.

 

Regarding Ganguly, Yes I forgot about him. He should replace Dhawan in my original list.

 

Zak misses out unfortunately.

 

Below is my amended list:

1. Kohli
2. MSD
3. Sachin
4. Kapil
5. Ganguly
6. Yuvraj
7. Gambhir
8. Rohit
9. Dravid
10. Azharuddin

Best of Luck Gautam! You were the reason we won 2011 WC and T20 WC in 2007.

Can we keep Dhoni out of this thread and not derail it as it is about Gambhir.

Him and Ponting won’t be in the same team as mentor or coach see him going to Kkr as mentor

FEARLESS CRICKETER ... thank you for ur service

[Tendulkar1996]

True clutch match player and street fighter for his nation.Respect.

[vvvslaxman]

World T20 final, World cup Final, IPL champion twice. Awesome 10 hour battle in NZ to draw a test, Great batting with Sehwag to win a test at Galle.

[Kothili]

Gauti's farewell speech felt more like a threnody.

[Zero_Unit]

without him, 2 WC trophies would not have been possible. Not the best in business but definitely got the job done. Respect

I have a feeling his time will be spent with the army from now on since he is a big advocat for them

[Temujin Khaghan]

He is setting himself up as a politician for the next 2019 general elections.
