Sir Garfield Sobers is probably the best all-rounder to have played the game of cricket

Even though Sobers made his debut in the year 1954, he is still regarded as one of the best all-rounders to have played the game of cricket.

Sobers played 93 Tests for West Indies from 1954 to 1974 and in 159 innings, scored 8032 runs at an impressive average of 57. 78.

He also held the world record of the highest individual score in Test cricket when he scored 365* against Pakistan in 1958. He held the record for 36 years until it was broken by Brian Lara in 1994.

Sobers also picked up 235 Test wickets at an average of 34.03 which makes him one of the best all-rounders to have played the game.
