Kapil Dev is arguably India's best fast bowler and certainly India's best all-rounder. He was an aggressive lower-middle order batsman who could cause damage with the bat.

He scored 3783 runs in 225 one-day international games that he played at a strike-rate of 95.07. He also picked up 253 wickets at an average of 27.45. Kapil Dev also troubled his opponents with his lethal outswingers.

Ian Botham was considered as one of the greatest all-rounders in the history of cricket. Having made his ODI debut in 1977, Botham went on to play 116 games in his illustrious career.

In his ODI career, he scored 2113 runs and picked up 145 wickets. His career economy rate of 4.01 in ODIs is simply spectacular. He was also inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2009.

#11 Imran Khan

IMRAN KHAN
IMRAN-KHAN

Imran Khan is one of the best all-rounders Pakistan have ever produced. He could swing the new ball both the ways at a very high speed. He mastered the art of shining the old ball and achieving reverse swing to trouble the oppositions.

He also used as handy lower-order batsman for Pakistan. Imran Khan, who featured in 175 ODI games, scored 3709 runs and bagged 182 wickets at an average of 33.41 and 26.62 respectively. He led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup.
