5. Gautam Gambhir:
Gautam Gambhir is one of the best cricketers India has ever produced. Can any cricket fan forget his innings in the final match of T20 World cup 2007 and the ODI world cup 2011? Apart from those, he has an amazing Test career, which got quite a few records. People not only loved his batting but also his way of expressing things in front of media.
