9) Virender Sehwag
Test cricket is actually a patient team sport where the viewers and players have to sit through days and sessions of thrilling as well as dull moments. But there have been few rare who with their devil-may-care absolutely come to the crease and change the situation of the game in their team's favours.
One such player who it did on a consistent basis with his audacious strokeplay was Virender Sehwag. The sheer genius with which he went about his game ranging from impeccable timing to an unreal hand-eye coordination, made the opposing team and the yesteryear greats doff their hats in respect towards this beast of a player.
It comes as a no-brainer that he achieved his highest Test rating against Sri Lanka on 22nd July 2018 after scoring 109 and 31 in tough Sri Lankan conditions. Unfortunately, the match could not be saved but he was able to register his name among the greats of the game.
