Michael Hussey
Michael Hussey, or Mr.Cricket, had a reassuring presence at the crease, guarding his wicket with aplomb, and at the same time, playing awe-inspiring strokes of all kinds throughout the ground.
He started his international career in his late 20s, but quickly stacked up a remarkable career with a rare gift of the game and a relentless pursuit of improvement.
He played his last Test in early 2013, and by that time, had played four seasons of IPL sides with Chennai. In the 2013 season, he accumulated a massive 733 runs in 17 matches and was the Orange Cap holder. He hit as many as six half-centuries, with the best score of 95. He played a further two seasons for the Mumbai Indians but featured in comparatively less number of matches.
