Imran Khan Niazi, was one of the best all-rounders of his generation.

Inzamam-ul-Haq was a symbiosis of strength and subtlety. Power was no surprise, but sublime touch was remarkable for a man of his bulk.

Sachin Tendulkar was the most complete batter of his time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known.

If he didn't have a signature stroke it was because he was proficient at so many and could pull them out at will.
Of Shahid Afridi it can safely be said that cricket never has and never will see another like him. For a start, the slant of his all-round skills only became clear ten years into his career; he is a leg-spinning allrounder.

Daring, tough and fiercely talented, Virat Kohli is arguably one of the finest batsmen that the country has produced. With a firm bottom-hand grip and the ability to smash balls landing on a particular area to any part of the ground at will and without much risk, Kohli has carved a niche of his own in Indian cricket. The king of chases as many of his fans have christened him, Kohli is a deeply hammered nail across all formats.

He was 22 years old at the time.

He became the youngest fast bowler in Test history to take a five-wicket haul, doing so in Karachi against Sri Lanka in just his second match. Naseem became the youngest to take a Test match hat-trick in his third Test against Bangladesh. His first T20I career over, where he dismissed KL Rahul and toyed with Virat Kohli, yet Shah holds the world record of most wickets after first six ODIs.
Shubman Gill is one of the brightest shining star in the Indian cricketing horizon. The teenager impressed everybody with his affluent playing style during the U-19 World Cup and since then has only got better and better.
There is no denying the fact that Shaheen Afridi's potential is scaringly infinite. Blessed with a tall gangling frame and the ability to bowl really fast, Afridi also like his famous namesake can strike the ball really hard with the bat in hand. Add to all this his variety as a left-arm bowler and you know why there is immense excitement around this man in Pakistan.

Australia and South Africa wrote one of the most astonishing chapters in the history of the World Cup. Big hitting allrounder Lance Klusener got South Africa to within 1 run of a win with 4 balls remaining. Inexplicably he ran for glory whilst last man Allan Donald stood rooted at the other end before belatedly setting off. The run out resulted in a tied match. It was the match that had everything and is widely regarded as the best one day international ever played.
