Thread on greatest players(that i have seen) of indian cricket team.
Sachin Tendulkar, a guy who represented the country for 24 long years, was the lone warrior of the team in most of the matches of 1990s decade, he holds the record of most runs in odi wcs, the 2nd is ponting who has played 2 innings less than sachin and has 500 runs less than him
Sachin also has the most no. Of runs in winning cause and sachin has played fewer innings than no. 2 and no. 3, but he is still called selfish, averaged 53+ in 200 he played for india, i don't think anyone other than sachin who plays 200 tests will ever average over 50.
Sachin tendulkar also holds the record of most runs in a wc edition and has joint most 100s in wcs, contributed with the ball many times for the team, sachin is the only player to defend 6 or less runs twice in the last over of odi matches.
He was someone who had a better average away from home than at home(tests). Sachin Tendulkar ruled the 1990s in odis, he outscored legends like saeed anwar brian lara and mark waugh, and he was 1713 runs ahead of Azharuddin who was 2nd in the list.
Virat kohli,the greatest odi player yes i know that sachin faced some lethal bowlers and great spinners, had only 1 new ball then and different field restrictions,we rarely see batsman average above 55 averaging almost 60 with strike rate above 90, is just next level beast stuff.
The first player ever to average 50+ in all formats, the fastest batsman to reach 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, and 12000 runs in odi cricket, he also has the most no. Of runs in t20is, and he has won man of the tournament twice in 2014 and 2016 t20 wc.
He was the lone warrior for the team in world cup 2014 and 2016,he helped the team reach final in 2014 and semi final in 2016,he has scored 3 consecutive 50+ in t20 wc ko matches,he also holds the record for most runs in a bilateral series,he has joint most no. Of 50+ in t20is
Virat kohli currently has 70 centuries and looks like the only batsman who has a chance to beat sachin's record of 100 100s, virat has more than half of his hundreds in test away from home(14), he has 24 centuries away from home out of his 43 100s in odis with an average of 58.
Rohit Sharma,the best opener in limited overs cricket,who has dominated the world in both t20is as well as odis,he has the most no. of centuries in t20is and 2nd most no. of runs in t20is,he also has the joint most no. of 50+ scores in t20is, has the fastest century in t20is.
Rohit sharma has 29 centuries in odis out of which 18 have come away from home and 11 at home, rohit sharma also has the records of most no. of 4s in an odi inning,highest individual score in odis(264) he has got 3 double hundreds in odis,he has the joint most no. of wc hundreds.
As we all know Rohit sharma also has the record of most hundreds in a world cup, he was also the highest run scorer of 2019 world cup, he is the only indian batsman with 2 100s in odi world cup knockout matches.
Ms dhoni, the greatest captain and wicket keeper batsman india have ever had, first we talk about the captaincy, he went into 2007 t20 world cup with a young and india a or b team, no sachin dravid laxman or dada, and even after missing main players they won the trophy.
In 2011 world cup he had an experienced team, although he didnt have a good tournament but in the final, he was able to handle the pressure and scored a brilliant 91* and won the player of the match, in odi cricket india has lost only once when he was not out and won 46 times.
He was the crisis man for the indian team in many matches when the top order collapsed, he also has the 2nd highest average in test by an indian wicket keeper batsman. He averages above 50 in odis and has 10000+ runs and he has batted at no.5 and 6 in most of the matches.
