#1 Nasser Hussain – England
One of those batsmen who made it to the top level with his hard work was the talented England batsman Nasser Hussain. He is often regarded as a captain who set the foundation for the growth of England's cricket in the modern age. He led them to four successive test series victories after he took over the captaincy from Alec Stewart in 1997.
Nasser has always been commended for the quality of his leadership, courtesy of which Sachin Tendulkar considers him to be an excellent strategist. He scored over 8000 international runs. He had a strong technique against quality spinners during his playing days, a testament to his link with one of India's turning havens, Chennai.
A technically-gifted batsman, Nasser is understood to have spent the first seven years of his childhood playing in the dusty fields of Chennai before moving to England with his family in 1975.
