#1 Sachin Tendulkar
It is not a hidden fact that Sachin Tendulkar aspired to be fast bowler when he started his career. While he eventually became a top-class batsman, Sachin did bowl medium pacers, especially in the initial part of his career. During the 1992 World Cup he bowled seam-ups regularly. The Master Blaster later tried his hand at off-spin and leg-spin bowling. In the later stages of his career, he predominantly became a leg spinner.
Sachin bowled according to pitch conditions and match situations. He was often used by the captains as a fifth bowler. The batting maestro has 201 international wickets to his name. Sachin has won a lot of matches for India with his bowling too.
