Sachin Tendulkar
The wonder boy, who went on to become a genius and ultimately the figurative patriarch of the Indian team which won the 2011 Cricket World Cup. It is really hard to draw any parallel with Sachin Tendulkar as he is in his own right, a man with colossal stature. He left no frontiers unconquered and there was not a single bowler from any country who could have proudly claimed that he was not even afraid of bowling to Tendulkar.
