#5 MS Dhoni
The former Indian captain went through one of his best periods as a batsman when Duncan Fletcher presided as the Indian team coach. Although Fletcher's role was curtailed a bit following the disastrous tour of England in 2011, he must have worked behind the scenes with Dhoni.
Dhoni averaged 47.51 during that period across formats, higher than his career average of 45.18. In addition to that, he scored 4 centuries (2 in Tests and 2 in ODIs) and among them, the 224 he scored against Australia in the Test match at Chennai in 2013 remains his career best.
