#3 Suresh Raina
He may not have the sheer numbers like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma but Suresh Raina has been a match winner for India in limited overs cricket. He is one of the very few cricketers who hardly have any haters. His valuable partnerships with Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni in the first decade of the 21st-century and his valuable contributions in the knock-out matches of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 are priceless for team India.
Besides his elegant batting, Raina is an excellent player. He usually adds 15 to 20 runs to the team score with his tremendous fielding skills. He is a complete player who can bat, bowl and field. The best thing about Raina is that he will always be the first one on the field to go and hug the bowler with plenty of enthusiasm as if he took that wicket.
The Uttar Pradesh born-player has thus represented India in 18 Tests, 226 ODIs, and 78 T20Is and scored around 8000 runs with the help of 7 tons in all formats combined.
