Jaspreet left Bumrah! Ravi Shastri revealed India’s biggest cricketers; Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar included | Cricket news
Former Indian head coach and mythological cricketer Ravi Shastri is one of the most prominent names in the game. The veteran recently shared his views on several topics related to the Indian cricket team and the five-observer series in England. While Shastri shared his opinion on the upcoming 4th Test at Old Trafford, he also named his top five best Indian players of all time. In a vibrant discussion with former cricketers and legends of sports, Shastri was asked to name his top five Indian cricketers, including Phil Tafnell, Sir Alastair Cook, David Lloyd and Michael Won. Put on the spot with this difficult question, 63 -year -old, with difficulty, named his top five. Shastri immediately listed her choice: Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni as the five best Indian cricketers of all time. Experiencers justified their selection, saying that he saw each era – ’70,’ 80s, ’90s’, and so – to finalize their choice. “(Sunil) Gavaskar, Sachin (Tendulkar), Virat certainly. I am looking at the most influential players of that era. MS (Dhoni) again. So these will be five,” Shastri said. He later added Kapil Dev to complete his list.
Another interesting observation was created by Shastri when he considered adding Pace Stallwart Jasprit Bumrah to the list. However, he rejected the idea quickly, saying that Bumrah is still more cricket, and his selections were based on players who either retired or were close to the end of his career. The former head coach went for the best name from his top five stars list. While Elestair Cook asked Shastri to name Sunil Gavaskar as a “Godfather” from the list, he insisted that Gavaskar was best in batting terms, but not overall. Shastri said, “I will keep the entire package – the number will be a tendulkar because due to expectations, longevity, to play 24 years in sports, for 100 hundreds. He played at every speed of that decade.”

What do you think who is the best Indian cricketer ever?
He also praised Sachin’s technology and class. As India is ready for a tortured testing of the five -match series, Shastri will listen to its fellow countrymen to win and lay down the series. A win in England excluded the series victory to the opposition to Shubman Gill. The 4th Test at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground begins on Wednesday, 23 July.
