Several factors contribute to the question of who is the best Indian Cricketer. One of the most important is the skill set that they possess.
Sachin Tendulkar
One of the greatest Indian cricketers of all time, Sachin Tendulkar is a role model for many. Despite his success on the cricket field, he lives a humble life and is viewed as an icon in India.
Tendulkar began playing cricket at a very young age, and was selected to play for the Indian team at sixteen. He became the youngest player to score a Test century and also the first batsman to score a double century in ODI cricket.
As a batter, he was able to strike the ball with perfect balance and economy of movement, and he had the ability to change his style depending on the situation. He was a complete player and could be counted on to make runs whenever the team needed him.
Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag has built an incredible career with an incomparable ability to hit the ball out of the pitch. With minimal footwork and maximum intent, he has piled Test runs at an unrivalled pace.
He is regarded as the best Indian cricketer of all time and has won many accolades for his greatness. He holds several records including the highest score in an innings by any Indian player and the first triple century in test cricket.
His ability to play attacking batting has made him one of the most popular players in Indian cricket. He has also been a key member of India's World Cup winning team in 2011.
Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar is considered to be one of the best Indian cricketers of all time. He was a superb opener, with a near-perfect batting technique and an unmatched patience when on the crease.
He scored a whopping 34 Test Centuries, the highest by any genuine opening batsman. He was also a fantastic driver and cutter of the ball, a talent that was not often seen in India during his time.
He had a brilliant record against the West Indies, but that could be slightly compromised by the fact that they did not have their four-pronged pace attack in place during his era. Despite that, he still managed to score 13 centuries against them.
Kapil Dev
Kapil Dev is one of the greatest Indian cricketers of all time. He is regarded as one of the best all-rounders in world history and is also known for his aggressive approach to the game of cricket.
He is a very popular figure in the world of cricket and has won many awards throughout his career. He is also a motivational speaker.
He was a prolific bowler and batsman and became the first player to take over 400 wickets in Test (international) cricket. He has also scored over 5,000 runs.
MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni is a right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper for the Indian cricket team. He is regarded as one of the best finishers in limited-overs cricket and has won several awards for his performances.
He is a former India captain and led the country in 331 international matches. He also led the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings to two titles.
He started his career as a footballer and then switched over to cricket in his early twenties. He was spotted by the BCCI’s scouts as a promising talent from his home state of Jharkhand.
