If we talk about personal favorites, mine are:

Viv Richards>>> devastating batsman, made all the bowlers suffer

Brian Lara>>> class with elegant style, carried a team on his own

Saeed Anwar>>>there is nothing as enjoyable as watching him play his shots freely! btw, how can we forget his 194 against the indians

VVS Laxman>>> stylish hyderabadi, gotta love him. why? ask the australians!....his wristy shots are as good as anything..kalaiyo ko mod ke!
