#2 Krishnamachari Srikkanth
A daredevil in his own time, Krishnamachari Srikkanth was the perfect foil to Gavaskar opening the innings for India.
The dashing opener was a maverick of sorts who could go after the bowling from the first delivery.
The Tamil Nadu opener had an unorthodox yet effective batting style which earned him many fans across the globe. Srikkanth produced some quickfire runs to give the team the initial impetus up front. He could roll over his arm and had the knack of scalping some big wickets.
