Undoubtedly one of the most popular Indian batsmen in the 1980s, Srikkanth came to the crease with one option his mind – attack. He tore into some of the most fearsome attacks of his time – West Indies included – and remains one of the few Indian batsmen who could play the short ball with impunity.

Srikanth's ability to stamp his authority on bowling attacks, akin to Sehwag, would’ve been a crowd puller for T20. Fast hands and great hand eye coordination meant that he could pull or drive at will, thereby cementing his spot as one of the most aggresive openers to have ever played the game.
