A 'Gentlemen' XI of currently active cricketers

#4 Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson

The New Zealand skipper, Kane Williamson, is considered to be one among the fab-four batsmen of the modern-day cricket. Unlike the other three comprising Kohli, Steve Smith, and Joe Root, Williamson doesn't believe in an explicitly aggressive brand of cricket. One can rarely find Williamson involve in any argument or banter on the field.

Known for his exceptional cricketing skills, Williamson is lauded as the greatest cricketer New Zealand has ever produced after the legendary Martin Crowe.

The 28-year-old has thus far played 70 tests, 132 ODIs and 54 T20Is, scoring in excess of 12500 runs and scalping 70 wickets in all three formats combined.

#5 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni

From a young raw lad with long hair who came to limelight with his blistering stroke-play, to becoming one of the most successful leaders in the history of cricket; the journey of MS Dhoni has been an immense inspiration to all the youngsters from small towns who dare to dream big.

Throughout his captaincy stint and after that, Dhoni has always believed in playing the game in true spirit. He never adopted any foul means to get an edge over his opponents and always played the game with integrity.

The former team India captain is one of the five Indian players to have scored more than 10000 runs in ODIs.
