Top ten cricketers from Punjab

#3. Mohinder Amarnath

Amarnath was a master of the counter-attack

The gutsy and valiant Mohinder Amarnath overcame his weakness against the short deliveries not by remodeling his technique but by counter-attacking. His nine overseas Test hundreds testify his valor and ability to stand tall amidst despair and he was known to score runs when the going got tough.

Amarnath's career was plagued by inconsistencies but he also made several successful comebacks and had a plethora of glorious moments to his name. He was the man-of-the-match in the memorable 1983 world cup final and averaged 42.50 in Tests.

In ODIs, his all-around skills were effective as he scored close to two thousand runs in 85 matches and also picked 46 wickets.
