Shivaji bhonsle Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Although West Indies has more power hitters than any other nations due to genetic factors...Indians have produced quite a few power hitters too. Dhoni, Yuvraj, Kapil, Sandeep Patil, Atul Bedade, Saurav Tiwary etc. are/ were very powerful hitters. Among top order batsmen ...Tendulkar, Kambli, Kohli, Vijay etc. are/were reasonably hard hitters too. don't forget CK Nayudu and Syed Mushtaq Ali. Read about them few months back. This is what they did in UK tour. Nayudu took part in all 26 of the first-class matches on the tour, scoring 1,618 runs at an average of 40.45 in the first-class matches and 1,842 overall, and taking 65 wickets. Wisden chose him as a Cricketer of the Year the next year. Nayudu hit 32 sixes, which was the most by anyone in the season. CK's best stint was playing at Edgbaston, where he hit a ball into the River Rhea, and thus, technically, into the next county. Tall and debonair, often with a kerchief knotted jauntily round his neck, CK was popularly known for his sartorial style on field. CK's close companion, Syed Mushtaq Ali, also known for his fearless and dashing cricket, played with CK in several matches together. Mushtaq Ali fondly called CK 'a tiger on the field'

Among new guys Iyer, Hooda, Negi, Pandya etc. are showing potential.
Shivaji bhonsle Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Hardik pandya is the answer. Trust me. . :winky:

He is a bit Aravinda De Silva. He can pick up plenty of singles and twos with his range.

Yeah a lot of similarities with Arvinda , but a lot more unconventional . He he can develop into a really good No4/No5 . Looks extremely confident . Even without the big hitting can score quickly , a little like steven smith these days .
flamy Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 ^ Yep, we definitely need players like that, who don't depend on big hitting to go at a good clip. Dhoni used to be like that.
