Yes, there are 32 batsmen names we have overall by glimpsed out their batting career or performance .India entered in the Test arena in 1932 and so far 2020, June 5 in 88 years’ history only 24 batsmen we have to count . And if due have figure performance we sort out the best ones then at least 10 names at once can be left. So who ones get place in the 15 best ones is the matter to discuss ,yes they are1.Vijay Merchant2.Vijay Hazare3. Polly Umarigar4..GR Vishwanath5.Mohinder Amarnath6.SM Gavaskar7.Dilip Vengserkar8.Mohd Azharuddin9.Sachin Tendulkar10.Sourabh Ganguly11.Rahul Dravid 12.Virender Sehwag 13.VVS Laxman14.Navjot Siddhu15 Gautam Gambhir 16. Virat Kohli
Here in the list there are 16 batsmen but I do leave M Azharuddin because of blemish figure who defamed indian cricket and all his career figures are also negligible according to my view..Why….. because it might be all his performance would have been remained affected so despite good figures and good batsman helplessly I overlook his name. So only 15 good ones rest for discussion. Again Sorryfully leaving this name I proceed the discussion..Yeah in these 15 six batsmen are phenomenal figures of batting World. Yeah these gods are 1.SM Gavaskar 2.SR Tendulakar3.Rahul Dravid4.Virat Kohli 5.Vijay Hazare6. Vijay Merchant
And 1.Mohinder Amarnath 2.GR Vishwanath 3.Dilip Vengserkar 4.VVS Laxman 5. V Sehwag6.Polly Umarigar7.Sourabh Ganguly8.Navjot Siddhu9. G Gambhirare the angels.These 15 batsmen have over 40 plus batting average on their worthy credit . Among these 15 ones SM Gavaskar , Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid , Virat Kohali have over 50 plus batting average. And simply if we count the average indeed they all seem the giants. Though average is just a figure doesn’t reveal all greatness . Why ….. because in it , it is to be seemed that whom against , how did , in which condition it is acquired by the batsmen. In this concern the name of Vinod Kambli and Salim Jafer and Karun Nayar’s names are worthy to attend because Vinod Kambli in his short career has two double, Salim Zafar too have two double and Karun Nayer has one triple century on their names. But the point must be mind that that scores came against average bowling attack and against the faded bowling attack and also on a batting friendly wicket and also in easeful batting condition. So only average doesn’t express the whole story. In the bunch of 6 gods Vijay Hazare and Vijay Merchant are the batsmen whose cricket career remained shorter than the fours and only average tells their story . There is one analyst who has put criteria for the batsman’s greatness measurement. Yes according to him that batsman at least have 25 Test and 1000 runs in his playing account. And amazing due to this norm batsman like Graham Pollock doesn’t get place for discussion such as his countryman Barry Richsrds while both were giant batsmen and have very impressive batting figures with huge average on their prosperous name. Due to apartheid policy their rich career got ruined . So here is the question who is responsible for their shorter career. I have mentioned this bitter fact only to justify the greats of india whose Test career remained shorter but what or how much they played is enough to prove their greatness. And it was sure if these both maestros would get chance to play bit long it was sure their figures would be ample. S Tendulkar,R Dravid and V Kohali’s average is much higher than The two Vs but there are the opponents, own team’s potential and support , conditions, protective apparatuses ,facilities and professionalism are the factors that must be counted and if yes then two Vs must be rated higher than these 3 giants. One god of this slate Sunny Gavaskar is exceptional figure because he is the gem that has been moulded after passing 440 vault chimney or stove ‘s heat .Vijay Merchant got his great acquaintance there in the tour of England where he showed is compactness and genuine style. He was like rock in batting and the Whites praised him by saying he just need to paint white and to see his solid defence the opponent bowlers almost used to leave make him out. And it is enough to prove his batting image and stature . His figures are–10 Test. 859 RunsAverage 47.72 100/ 50 — 3 / 3 HS-154 If this figures are extended up to 100 Then V Merchant’s figures would rest8590 runs in 100 Tests30 hundreds30 half hundredsBut it is just an estimation it could be or not but glimpse out over his domestic cricket’s figures then those are huge and envious. He has over 72 batting average that is rest 2nd in the world after Sir Donald Bradman. So he must be accredited equal to Sachin and Dravid or more.Now Vijay Hazare’s batting figure -30 Test 2192 runs47.65 Average100/50- 7/9HS – 164*And if these figures are extended then it rests as the following -7000 runs in 100 Test25 hundreds 30 fifties And V Hazare’s highest Score is 164* it means it says a lot because not out innings could be converted into double or triple. Thus 6 batsmen are indeed big batting maestros and rest very high.Virat Kohali is the modern sensation and his present figures and form is showing that at the end of his career he would surpass or leave all the figures of Sachin Tendulkar. Though comparison is started by the analysts and critics .Now I do attend the angels . Yes they are Polly Umrigar , Mohinder Amarnath, Dilip Vengserkar , GR Vishwanath, Sourabh Ganguly, VVS Laxman, V Sehwag and instead of M Azharuddin I put Navjot Singh Siddhu in the worthy list.In the list of angels I put Mohinder Amarnath very high because of great courage and bold ability to face speedsters. Against quality fiery bowling attack his figures are emphatic and bowler like Imran and Holding have showered praise on him. Due to hooking ability skill one sided he got runs such as many a times he threw his wicket . Otherwise he was a big batsman particula against the pacers. He has 12 hundreds on his name and all these innings are of high cadre and class. So in my sense he rests at number one in the Angels. After him GR Vishwanath is high profile batsman. He had 14 hundreds on his prestigious name and most of them played at the crucial and hostile batting conditions but those innings played important role in India’s wins. Vishi is accoladed by many renown figures for his masterclass batting. Then comes Dilip Vengeserkar who played linking role between Gavaskar and Sachin and some of his great knocks awarded victory to the indian team . In England his performance remained please worthy and scintillating that has been applauded by all and for it he remained at the Top Batting Rank that was declared by the ICC. Despite presence of great batsmen during that period he accredited this worthuest rank and it remained his most buzzing news ever. We can say only the diamond but previous most Kohinoor in his crown. One of the most fearsome bowlers of the world cricket M Holding let him the toughest batsman to be bowled. And this remark is enough to reveal D Vengeserkar’s height as a batsman. After him VVS Laxman is the angel who been talked a lot for his big figures. He has 17 hundreds on his name and his 281 run’s innings against Australia is considered as one of the greatest innings in the world batting arena. At requirement he played 49 run knock in the 1st innings there at Kolakata. At calling follow on he played flawless freelance innings and piled up.281 individually. Now left three angels and one monster yes monster because of his destructive batting performance. He was a fearless opening batsman who was a middle order batsman in real. Technically he has put in the question and used to play without onus so despite good batting figures remain inconsistent and never remained a match winner . He was just an entertainer. Yes he was very explosive like Viv Richards and Adem Gilchrist but only in hitting not in surity. On dead pitches or wicket he was impressive and used to make bowlers a toy. He has 22 Test hundred on his worthy name and it is amazing that hitter like him and who was not sound technically achieved a feat. He is the first tripleon from india and has two on his name and also 6 double centuries shocks out any conservative fans and critics. But his big figures can’t be refuted in a slight way. The support of the captain and 3 big batters presence remained behind his great success. Yeah four angels are more to discuss and they are Polly Umrigar , Sourabh Ganguly , Navjot Singh Siddhu and Gautam Gambhir .Yes among these worth figures Polly Umrigar was the highest run getter for india and remained as the top scorer for india. After long time Sunny Gavaskar surpassed his achievement. He was the first batsman who sammed a double ton for india. He has 12 hundreds on his rich name and he must be evaluated high because batting point of view the pitches, conditions , playing commodities were not fitted. Uncovered wicket was a big matter so Polly Umriger has a vital place in my evaluation . After Polly Umrigar remains two batsmen who represented late 90s and 2K and 2k1 yes they both are the opener . You know opening is the toughest slot to bat and particularly against quality bowling attack, wise captain , good fielders it is difficult to bat. The main work of the openers is to lessen the shine and seam of the ball to stay long that the forthcoming or successor batsmen can get benefit because they the main bowlers get fatigue and loose out the sharpness. Though during beginning spell they would have sent out openers in the pavelion. But before getting out or departure they have done their prior job. So Navjot Siddhu and G Gambhir have nine centuries individually on their name. And they kept their average forty plus so it is appreciable. Though for the opening batsman 35 plus average is considered satisfactory. Navjot Siddhu played a big knock against fiery and quality bowling there in the West Indies and slammed double hundred 201 is a golden feather in his cap or crown. Such as G Gambhir slammed a double hundred (206)puts him high. There was good bowling attack from the Australia team in form of M Johnson, Bret Lee and Peter Siddle as the quickies.In the list of the angels two batsmen C Pujara and A Rahane who are in the present action like Virat Kohli but so far both have proven their class and quality. Cheteshwer Pujara has acquired a big credentia on his name due to his great style and patience . He has fulfilled the big place of Rahul Dravid. And critics have been said him the replica of R Dravid. He is also called mr Reliable . He is truly and virtually a Test specialist batsman and fully dedicated to the heavyweight and traditional form of cricket The Test Match. C Pujara’s figures are higher and his batting average is near about 50. He seems a big horse of this race and more uppish in future.A Rahane’s average is also 40 plus and would be more impressive in near future.Here , before ending the discourse I attend some greats who are not heavy on the paper but they impressed the fans and critics. Yes, they are Tiger Pataudi, Vijay Manjrekar, Dilip Surdesai , Veenu Mankad , Lala Amarnath. CK Naydu, Rusi Modi, Chandu Borde, etc. They were unique in their worthy senses. And when I have used metaphor God, Angel for the category one & two then I do embellish these pivotals aces and stalwarts as the kings. Why ….. because according to the mythology the king is the indirect representative of Almighty.Players like Lala Amarnath, Vijay Merchant, Vijay Hazare’ s career spanned shorter due to world war 2nd and also affected a lot but in domestic cricket they kept their great height through big performance.
Ultimately I conclude that the performance with quality always speaks and when it is reviewed truly and all factors are counted to scale out for unanimous choice or stand. Sometimes the person’s review is to be personal and sometimes impersonal. Ant universal fact is always given respect by the generations.In this mirror I have tried my best to introspec and justification with each batting wizard of Indian Cricket but it is logical review so there are possibilities of ifs and buts if any sheer devoted cricket lover would peep out densely.*NK Sevak “Sanatan” Cricket Critic Of my kindUdaipur
