Nose and face twitching of Srikanth

Gavaskar's cover drive

Kumble's action

I think I got Shane Warne's better

Left knee was in surgery. after that bowled a few matches with Shastri's left arm spin

Bowling is easy to imitate, batting is tougher to get the timing.

Klusener, Kallis, Agarkar for bowling action..  sometimes even robin singh. Saqlain for offspin and Warney for legspin ( very hard with no spin ). 

Dravid in batting.. ppl loved that style and it covered your deficiencies as a batsman. 

I was thin with no power in shots.. used to be envious of other kids who packed a punch and could hit effortless sixers

Srinath - Loved his bowling action. Still imitate his bowling action some times

Manoj Prabhakar - For shits and giggles.

Prasanna, Venkatraghavan, Sunny, Rohan Kanhai, Solkar, Thomson, Marshall, Viv Richards, Kapil.

 

I would say the chewing gum culture came to India because of West Indian cricketers, especially Viv. Haha.

One of my elder brother's friend used imitate Manoj Prabhakar bowling action. Before 96 debacle Prabhakar was very famous among young kid with his swing bowling and occasional swinging yorkers.

Lance Klucener’s bowling action. Diving like Jonty for no reason at all when the ball was right in front.
