#3 Ravi Shastri

Ravi Shastri is certainly one of India's finest all-rounders. The current Indian coach started his career as a left arm spin bowler and later transformed into a batting all-rounder.
At 17 years and 292 days, he was then the youngest cricketer to play for Mumbai. Shastri set a record for Bombay against Baroda in a West Zone Ranji match. His first hundred came up in 72 minutes and 80 balls that had included nine fours and four sixes.
The second took just 41 minutes and 43 balls. His 123 ball 200* became the fastest double hundred in first class history, beating the previous record by 7 minutes, and included 13 fours and 13 sixes.
He made many crucial match winning contributions in the 1983 World Cup. The Mumbaikar was also elected as the Champion of Champions in World Championship of Cricket in Australia in 1985. Shastri enjoys the credit of being the first Indian batsman to have hit six sixes in an over.
Apart from his cricketing heroics, he's famous for his flamboyant commentary.
Shastry played 80 Tests and 150 ODIs for India. He scored over 6500 runs and took 280 wickets in both Tests and ODIs put together.
