#2 Sir Garfield Sobers (West Indies)
Arguably the greatest all-rounder in the history of the game, Sir Garfield Sobers made his debut for the West Indies national team in 1954 as a 17-year-old and scripted an illustrious career with a team that was at the height of its prowess during his time.
Sobers did take some time to adjust to the highest level of the game but there was no stopping once he got going with his first century in Test cricket emerging as the highest individual score at the time when he scored an unbeaten 365 against Pakistan.
Sobers played 93 Tests for the West Indies, scoring 8032 runs at an average of 57.78, and taking 235 wickets at an average of 34.03. His final Test came against England in 1974 - the same nation he made his debut against 20 years back.
