5 best all-rounders in Indian cricket team till date

#4 Ravi Shastri

Ravi Shastri

The present coach of the Indian Cricket team fits into this list as well. Shastri, a hard hitting middle-order batsman and a canny left arm orthodox bowler, was probably the first of the modern version of limited overs all-rounders. He had scored 3109 runs and claimed 129 wickets in the 150 ODIs that he played for India.

However, he had a decent record in Tests as well. He scored 3830 runs at an average of 35.79 in 80 Tests and it also included 11 centuries and 12 half-centuries. And with his slow left arm orthodox bowling, he claimed 151 crucial wickets as well in those matches.

He also has a Test double hundred to his name, that too against Australia at Sydney. His six hitting prowess is well-known as he hit six sixes in an over once in a first class match in 1985.
