Cook is the only active player featuring in this list

One of England’s great Test batsmen, Cook is not the most flamboyant left-handed batsmen but certainly one of the most effective that the game has ever seen. Cook is the only active player featuring in this list and has come to define commitment and a will to improve year after year and season after season. Cook had the grit and the hunger for runs which made him stand out under any situation and made him a successful Test Batsman.

One of his most significant innings came in Abu Dhabi against Pakistan when he scored 263 runs lasting close to 14 Hours on the pitch, making it the third longest innings ever.

Against India, Cook has made 2104 runs in 24 Matches at an average of just above 50, higher than his Career average of 45.64. Cook would be eager to add a few vital runs to his tally and try and help England win the all-important season.
