In 1989, Sachin Tendulkar played his first game for India against Pakistan. He started out as a kid prodigy at the age of 16, but he never looked back and went on to score the most runs in international cricket. In the late 1990s, Tendulkar was at the height of his abilities. His most admired innings among his century of hundreds was the ‘Desert Storm’ knock against Australia in 1998.

Sir Vivian Richards

In 1974, when playing India, Sir Vivian Richards was initially added to the national cricket team. It should come as no surprise that during his rule, the bowlers were terrified by his charm and body language. He attracted a lot of attention after smashing 291 runs against England in 1976 at the Oval.
