If there was an entertaining cricketer in the late 80s and the early 90s, it was Navjot Sidhu who had the knack of sending the ball out of the park regularly which earned him the nickname ‘Sixer Sidhu’. This top-order batsman from Punjab was technically sound and scored quick runs with the new ball. His success in the 1987 World Cup cemented his place in the squad for quite a long time.

He amassed close to 4500 runs in the limited-overs at an average of 37.08 and a strike rate of 70. Given that he belonged to this era, he would be a solid top-order batsman who could hold one end and slog in the latter part of the innings. Apart from his batting, he was an excellent fielder that earned him the nickname ‘Jonty Singh’ which means that he would be a valuable asset for the team on the field as well. Overall, he would go for a hefty amount if sold in the auction.
