You wrote last 50 years. Neither of the Vijays played in the last 50 years; they were around in the days of my parents.

[Vijy]

Just pick the all-time test XI and you have the top players of past 50 overs.

@zen doesn't seem to understand time frame so I was just completing his statement 

 

I am well aware of the fact that they were not from this era and hence I haven't selected any of them in this list.

[express bowling]

Bumrah .... the first Indian pacer to take 100+ test wickets averaging 25 or less  ( averaging 21.99 now ), has to be in that list. 

[putrevus]

Since when Pataudi became a great player.Even if we say greatest players since last 100 years.

I agree. He's much better than Ashwin and Jadeja, performs everywhere. And yes i know he isn't a spinner. His average in SENA is even better than Akram's last time i checked.

Won't be considered.

@Majestic You missed 2 most impact players since 1990, i am not gonna tell who they are but someone going to feel real bad.

[Zero_Unit]

Ganguly surely deserves a spot before Jadeja. Not many will remember Jadeja after he retires and couple of decades passes. But people will surely talk about Ganguly and the changes he brought to team India

He was a great captain but mediocre player. 

 

I think OP is talking about only Tests.
