Famous Indian Cricketers from 90s.

Famous Indian Cricketers left a legacy behind and we still remember them whenever we look back at the history of cricket.

In the late 90s when Indian cricket was struggling to make an impact despite having talented players in the team. The clouds of fixing allegations, and corruption looming over the team made them perform poorly. Various key player was at the center of these allegations have been made. In all this chaos when Sachin Tendulkar was denied captaincy and he suggested a player who handle the team in the correct manner and hence Ganguly was given the charge.

The very first thing Ganguly did was clean the team. All the relics of the past were shown to the door. Fresh blood was brought into the team. Yuvraj, Kaif, Zaheer, Sehwag, Harbhajan, and Nehra were brought into the team along with the legendary stalwarts like Sachin, Dravid, Kumble, VVS, and Srinath. He single-handedly cleaned the team of fixers and installed confidence in young players protecting them from any sort of malicious activities in cricket.

Ganguly captained till 2006 and through this, he made team India a very feisty side which before was the humble and polite team. He’s is real Dada of Indian cricket. How can we forget his insane celebration of removing his jersey and rotating it by hand at Lords during the Natwest series final? Complete gesture of dominance and aggression and intimidation. The man, the god of Offside, loved by millions “Dada”

Let’s talk about the remaining famous Indian cricketers which are the heroes of the 90s generation especially. If you are not overwhelmed by that 2003 World cup Jersey then you haven’t lived your childhood if you were born in the 90s.

1. Sachin Tendulkar

Do I need to mention anything about him here. If I did you will slap me hard. If you are reading this article, somewhere it is only because of great Sachin. Kuch to likhana hai to yahi likh deta hu, “God wanted to play cricket so Sachin was born”

2. Virendra Sehwag

The most chillax and fearless personality of Indian cricket. Sir ji ko aate hi first ball pe chowka maarna hi maarna hai aur 300 run six marke complete karna hai. Baap-beta wala trend shuru Karne wale yahi janaab the. His witty lines still entertain us. The powerful striker of Indian team, “Multan ka Sultan” Virendra Sehwag

3. Rahul Dravid

Whenever you say defense I will say Dravid. “The wall” of the team. His defense is so soft that the ball wasn’t even crossing the end of the pitch sometimes. Pareshan ho jate the bowler lekin ye deewar tutati nhi thi. Britannia bat ko famous Karne wale, Gentle, calm cricketer.

4. VVS Laxman

He was more like an Artist than a sportsman when he was batting. “He was a guy who could straight drive a ball similar to the one he has cover driven before earlier, and if he’s on song, he may roll his magic wrist to place it behind square,” said Sachin Tendulkar once. Truly the class and craft of the player. Very very Special “Laxman”

We are all in awe of the these famous “Fab Four” of Indian cricket. Each one of them has different qualities which left us astonished.

5. Mohammad Kaif

The quick and agile player that cricket ever had. He’s reflexes still surprise us. When he’s fielding, the ball seldom finds his way to pass around him, only when the batsman was that lucky enough otherwise don’t even think that you could play a Cut shot or cover drive for boundary when he’s there.

6. Yuvraj Singh

“Sankatmochak” of team literally. If anyone who can take Kaif’s place, he’s the one. His elegance while that cover drive is damn spectacular. And yeah never messed with this man otherwise he will hit six sixes in an over. Andrew Flintoff knew this very well and Stuart Broad still feels the pain given by Yuvi in South Africa.

7. Zaheer Khan

The man of complete accuracy and disciplined bowling. Though he struggled in fielding and batting but when its comes to his bowling, no one can bit him. Just watch his deliveries and specific fielding position for same delivery. Inventor of Nakal ball, “Zak”.

8. Harbhajan Singh

Remember that Eden garden test played between India and Australia where he emerged at his best. Steve Waugh still thinks, ye out of syllabus question aaya kaise. Most charming player of team India. I still feel sad for S Shreesant.

9. Ashish Nehra

His action is simply unforgettable. Brilliant bower holds a very rare record with the greatest Viv Richards of hitting the six out of the stadium at Lords. He did this in the last match of the series played against England in 2002 at Lords’. This incredible record makes Nehra the last player to do so at Lords’. Though India lost that match it was still remarkable for this record by Nehra.

10. Mahendra Singh Dhoni

We know some of you desperately looking for his name in this list. We intentionally put him at last, because we think he’s the best at handling pressure situations and no one can do it better than him. And what could we say about this man? We literally don’t have words for him. Omnipotent!

These famous Indian cricketers inspire everyone out there and keep the legacy alive!
