Arguably the bravest cricketer the game has seen. The former England skipper bravely fielded at dangerous positions like short-leg and silly-point without any protection. The man has probably taken blows to his body more than any cricketer. Well, he once said: “How can the ball hurt you? It’s only on you for a second.” It completely justifies the fact that why he took so many blows. He even faced the fiery West Indies pace attack without helmets, another prove that he is the bravest cricketer of all time.
