#1. Saurav Ganguly
Sensational off-side play, glorious foot-work against the spinners and a bold approach enabled Ganguly to score more than ten thousand ODI runs and become one of India's finest batsmen ever.
He scored a hundred in his debut Test at Lord's and since then his average never dropped below 40 in Test cricket. In ODI's he was even more effective and tagged with Tendulkar to produce a successful opening combination in ODIs.
He has 22 hundreds in ODIs, 16 in Tests and more than 18 thousand international runs, an achievement that puts at the top.
