Michael Clarke
Michael John Clarke, having made his Test match debut at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, grew in stature in the years that followed. Called "Pup" by his teammates, Clarke had a wonderful run against India with two hundreds and four fifties in ODIs piling up 858 runs at 39 with a strike rate of 84.
Trending
He also had a Test match triple hundred against India.
Generally a middle order batsman, Clarke did well when asked to open as well as in the lower middle order. When Australia faced India in the 1st ODI of 7-match ODI series in 2007, Clarke scored a graceful knock of 130 batting at 4, before being run out.
The former Australian skipper also bowled slow left arm bowling and has surprised the opposition number of times.
