Strength was Matthew Hayden's strength - both mental and physical. It enabled him to shrug off years of carping that he was technically too limited for Test cricket because of the way he played around his front pad, and it enabled him to touch rarefied heights of batsmanship

About
At first there were nerves and chubbiness. Then came wild soaring legbreaks, followed by fame and flippers. For a long while there were women, then a bookmaker, then diet pills, then more women - and headlines, always headlines. Now he has come out the other end, his bluff and bluster and mischief and innocence somehow intact. The man who in 2000 was rated among the five greatest cricketers of the 20th century was, in 2006, bowling better than ever.

Umesh Yadav Biography

Personal Information
Name : Umesh Yadav
Full Name : Umeshkumar Tilak Yadav
Nick Name : ---
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 25 October 1987
Place Of Birth : Nagpur, Maharashtra, India
height : 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m)

Cricket Life
Team : India

Bowling Style : Right-arm fast-medium
Test Debut : 6 November 2011 v West Indies
One Day Debut : 28 May 2010 v Zimbabwe
T20 Debut : 7 August 2012 v Sri Lanka

About
Less than two seasons after fast bowler Umesh Yadav first played with a leather ball, he was bowling against the likes of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman in the Duleep Trophy. What makes his ascent even more remarkable is that he represents unglamorous Vidarbha in the Plate League of the Ranji Trophy. Yadav is the son of a coal-mine worker and was aiming to become a policeman. He only started considering a career in cricket as a 19-year-old, an age by which the best young Indian cricketers are in the running for a national cap.

Zaheer Khan Biography

Personal Information
Name : Zaheer Khan
Full Name : Zaheer Khan
Nick Name : Zak, Zippy and Zakky
Parents : Zakia and Bakhtiyar Khan
Date Of Birth : 7 October 1978
Place Of Birth : Shrirampur, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India
height : 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m)

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Bowler
Batting Style : Right-handed
Bowling Style : Left-arm fast-medium
Test Debut : 10 November 2000 v Bangladesh
One Day Debut : 3 October 2000 v Kenya
T20 Debut : 1 December 2006 v South Africa

About
Zaheer Khan is an Indian fast bowler with all the traits that made the Pakistani fast bowlers a phenomenon. He swings the new ball and reverses the old, he does well on flat subcontinent pitches and relishes the helpful ones away, and he controls all three balls well - SG, Duke and Kookaburra. He might not quite have the skills of Wasim Akram, who he has often been compared to, but mentally Zaheer has become as good as Akram. He knows how to get wickets, he has an intuitive sense of when to go for the kill, and once a batsman has shown him the slightest hint of a weakness, Zaheer preys on it ruthlessly. Unlike the Pakistan fast bowlers of the 2000s, though, he stays away from controversy and is pretty low-key off the field.

Irfan Pathan Biography

Personal Information
Name : Irfan Pathan
Full Name : Irfan Khan Pathan
Nick Name : Guddu
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 27 October 1984
Place Of Birth : Baroda, Gujarat, India
height : 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m)

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Bowling-All rounder
Batting Style : Left-hand bat
Bowling Style : Left arm fast medium
Test Debut : 5 April 2008 v South Africa
One Day Debut : 9 January 2004 v Australia
T20 Debut : 1 December 2006 v South Africa

About
Irfan Khan Pathan was considered by many, with reason, as the most talented swing and seam bowler to emerge from India since Kapil Dev. Within a couple of years in international cricket, he was thought of as a possible successor for Kapil in the allround department. When he made his Test debut in Australia in 2003-04, it was with the energy of a 19-year-old, but a composed nous that was striking even for one who had been specifically readied for the purpose via the A-team and age-group channels. His instinct is not merely what to bowl to who and when, but also to keep learning new tricks. He played a big part in India's one-day and the Test series wins on their revival tour of Pakistan. His batting soon took off and he was regularly pushed up the order - his first stint at No.3 resulted in a spectacular 83 against Sri Lanka at Nagpur - and he often bailed India out of strife in the Test arena as well. His bowling form, though, nosedived in 2006, and he struggled to make it to both the Test and ODI teams when the year ended, becoming the first Indian player to be sent back from a tour (South Africa) to concentrate on domestic cricket. He did make it to the World Cup squad but didn't figure in a single game during India's disappointing campaign, after which he was dropped from both the Test and one-day sides. Recalled to the side for the ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa in September 2007, Pathan did not disappoint, snapping up 10 wickets at 14.90. His crucial spell of 3 for 16 in the final against Pakistan earned him the Man-of-the-Match award.

One Day Debut : 10 June 2008 2008 v Pakistan

About
Yusuf Pathan first made his mark as a hard-hitting batsman and offspinner for the Baroda Under-16 team in the Vijay Merchant Trophy in 1999-2000. His impressive showings saw him quickly climb the rungs to the Baroda U-19 and the West Zone U-19 sides. He made his Ranji debut against Saurashtra in 2001-02, but it wasn't until the 2004-05 season, by when younger brother Irfan Pathan was donning the national colours, that he established himself as a regular in the Baroda squad. Pathan ended the 2004-05 season as Baroda's fourth-highest scorer and third-highest wicket-taker.

Varun Aaron Biography

Profile
Personal Information
Name : Varun Aaron
Full Name : Varun Raymond Aaron
Nick Name : ---
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 29 October 1989
Place Of Birth : Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India
height : ---

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Bowler
Batting Style : Right-hand bat
Bowling Style : Right-arm fast
Test Debut : 22 November 2011 v West Indies
One Day Debut : 23 October 2011 v England
T20 Debut : Debut

About
In a country starved of genuinely quick bowlers, Varun Aaron grabbed the headlines when he hit 153 kph during the 2010-11 Vijay Hazare Trophy final against Gujarat. Hailing from Jharkhand, Aaron has been part of the MRF Pace Academy in Chennai since he was spotted by a talent scout at the age of 15. In his first year with the Jharkhand Under-19 side, he also played for East Zone and was later part of the India Under-19 camp. He grew up admiring Andy Roberts, and pace has been his focus since his teens. This led to two stress fractures of the back soon after he made his Ranji Trophy debut in the 2008-09 season for Jharkhand, but he continues to focus on bowling quick. Possessing a smooth run-up and a repeatable action, Aaron consistently bowls in excess of 140 kph from close to the stumps with decent control. Having earlier been part of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad, he made his IPL debut in 2011 for Delhi Daredevils.

He was part of the India Emerging Players squad that went to Australia in 2011, and after impressing there earned a call-up to the India ODI squad for the series in England. Though he did not get a game on that trip, he made his India debut in Mumbai, when England went over to the subcontinent for a return ODI series in October 2011. He made his Test debut a month later, against West Indies, also in Mumbai.

Ajit Agarkkar Biography

Personal Information
Name : Ajit Agarkar
Full Name : Ajit Bhalchandra Agarka
Nick Name : ---
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 4 December 1977
Place Of Birth : Bombay, Maharashtra, India
height : ---

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Bowler
Batting Style : Right-handed
Bowling Style : Right-arm fast-medium
Test Debut : 7 October 1998 v Zimbabwe
One Day Debut : 1 April 1998 v Australia
T20 Debut : 1 December 2006 v South Afric

About
Slight, fiery and gifted, Ajit Agarkar never came to terms with being Kapil Dev's replacement as India's matchwinner with bat and ball. The ingredients were there, and in the right proportions, but never formed a heady and long-lasting mix. Agarkar's entry into international cricket - with an avalanche of wickets that made him the then fastest to 50 in ODIs - was matched for speed only by an astonishing batting slump during which he collected seven consecutive Test ducks against Australia. But he could bat, because tailenders simply do not score half-centuries in 21 balls, as Agarkar did in a one-day game against Zimbabwe, or score Test centuries at Lord's, as Agarkar did in some style in 2002. His aggression was an asset, but his body could not sometimes support it. He turned into a one-day specialist - arguably India's most effective ODI bowler in 2005-06 - but a disappointing World Cup campaign resulted in him being dropped for the Bangladesh series that followed.

Gavaskar Biography

Personal Information
Name : Sunil Gavaskar
Full Name : Sunil Manohar Gavaskar
Nick Name : Sunny, Little Master
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 10 July 1949
Place Of Birth : Bombay, Bombay State, Dominion of India
height : 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m)

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Opening batsman
Batting Style : Right-hand batsman
Bowling Style : Right-arm medium
Test Debut : 6 March 1971 v West Indies
One Day Debut : 13 July 1974 v England
T20 Debut : No

About
Sunil Gavaskar was one of the greatest opening batsmen of all time, and certainly the most successful. His game was built around a near-perfect technique and enormous powers of concentration. It is hard to visualise a more beautiful defence: virtually unbreachable, it made his wicket among the hardest to earn. He played with equal felicity off both front and back feet, had excellent judgement of length and line, and was beautifully balanced. He had virtually every stroke in the book but traded flair for the solidity his side needed more. His record for the highest number of Test hundreds was overtaken by Sachin Tendulkar, but statistics alone don't reveal Gavaskar's true value to India. He earned respect for Indian cricket and he taught his team-mates the virtue of professionalism. The self-actualisation of Indian cricket began under him. Since retiring, Gavaskar has served as a television commentator, analyst and columnist, as well as taken on various responsibilities with the BCCI, and served as chairman of the ICC cricket committee. He stepped down - after some controversial comments - from the latter in order to continue as a media columnist and commentator.

AjayJadeja Biography

Personal Information
Name : Ajay Jadeja
Full Name : Ajaysinhji Daulatsinhji Jadeja
Nick Name : ---
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 1 February 1971
Place Of Birth :
Jamnagar, Gujarat, India
height : 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m)

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Batsman
Batting Style : Right-handed
Bowling Style : Right-arm medium
Test Debut : 13 November 1992 v South Africa
One Day Debut : 26 February 2000 v South Africa
T20 Debut : No

About
An exuberant batsman, and an incorrigible charmer off the field, Ajay Jadeja entered international cricket with an infectious effervescence that won hearts and matches - but left behind an eerie trail of bookmaker connections and unanswered questions. A protégé of Kapil Dev, Jadeja's natural athleticism, energetic running between wickets, audacious big-hitting and winning smile were made for the floodlit age. His bustling, street-smart batsmanship in the middle and closing overs swung many one-dayers India's way, none more emphatically than the 1996 World Cup quarter-final against Pakistan, when he blasted 45 off 25 balls. But his obvious vulnerability against genuine pace and swing restricted his Test appearances to 15, and his career was halted in December 2000 by a five-year ban following damaging, though inconclusive, findings in a CBI inquiry on match-fixing. While Jadeja contested the ban, he found an even more glamorous vocation meanwhile: acting. In November 2004 his plea seeking permission to play international cricket was dismissed by the Delhi High Court after no one appeared on his behalf when the petition was taken up for hearing. However, a Division Bench subsequently permitted him to play domestic cricket and Jadeja returned to Delhi, where he was made captain. In September 2005 he took on a double role as captain and coach of Rajasthan. He also dabbles in cricket commentary. Cricinfo staff (October 2007)

Dinesh Mongia Biography

Personal Information
Name : Dinesh Mongia
Full Name : Dinesh Mongia
Nick Name : ---
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 17 April 1977
Place Of Birth : Chandigarh, India
height : 6'2"

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Batsman
Batting Style : Left hand bat
Bowling Style : Slow left arm orthodox
Test Debut : no
One Day Debut : 28 March 2001 v Australia
T20 Debut : 1 December 2006 v South Africa

About
Dinesh Mongia has quietly gone about the job of accumulating runs without ever being showered with the encomiums reserved for flashier but less effective players. Having made his Punjab debut in 1995-96, he was a steady if unspectacular performer until the 2000-01 season when he took domestic run-getting to another level, forcing his way into the national team with a string of big innings. Pugnacious and dogged, he lacks the natural grace of most left-handers, but possesses a wide range of attacking strokes. He has done a sterling job when given a chance in the one-day side, and hammered 159 in the series decider against Zimbabwe at Guwahati in March 2002. Suspicions remained, however, that kinks in his technique could be exposed on more challenging tracks abroad, and indifferent displays in England resulted in him being relegated to a bit-part role in the tours that followed. He forced his way back into the 2003 World Cup squad, where India lost in the final, but failed to set the world alight. In 2004, he played club cricket in England in an attempt to regain his place, and ended up standing in for Carl Hooper as one of Lancashire's overseas players where he was a popular player. He then joined Leicestershire where is skills were especially useful in Twenty20 cricket and remained on the fringes of India's one-day side, featuring in four matches during the six-month period between September 2006 and March 2007. After India's ignominous World Cup exit, of which he wasn't a part, he was picked in the squad to tour Bangladesh in May 2007. Mongia then took his skills to the Chandigarh Lions in the ICL, but was suspended by the unsanctioned league in October 2008. The ICL players were given amnesty by the BCCI after that, but Mongia hasn't played an official game since.

Ravi Shastri Biography

Personal Information
Name : Ravi Shastri
Full Name : Ravishankar Jayadritha Shastri
Nick Name : Ravi
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 27 May 1962
Place Of Birth : Bombay, Maharashtra, India
height : ---

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : All-rounder
Batting Style : Right-hand batsman
Bowling Style : Slow left-arm orthodox
Test Debut : 21 February 1981 v New Zealand
One Day Debut : 25 November 1981 v England
T20 Debut : no

About
For over a decade, Ravi Shastri rendered yeoman service to Indian cricket in many ways. As an obdurate opening or middle-order batsman; as a left-arm spinner who was an integral part of the attack; and as long-time deputy to a couple of captains. In his time he was very much the glamour boy of Indian cricket, tall and good-looking and with an image to match. He had his detractors who charged that he batted too slowly, that he was selfish in his approach, that he continued to be in the team only because Gavaskar was captain. But the phlegmatic Shastri took all this in his stride, letting his performances on the field speak for themselves. In reality, as Shastri himself admitted, he was not particularly talented but had come up only through hard work.

About
Probably the front-runner among India's upcoming left-arm spinners, Pragyan Ojha has converted the promise he showed at age-group levels to first-class level too. For good measure, he improved markedly in his second season, ending up among the top 10 bowlers by the end of the league stage of the 2006-07 Ranji Trophy, with 29 wickets at 19.89 in six games for Hyderabad. Consistent performances on a twin tour of Zimbabwe and Kenya earned him another shot with India A, against South Africa at home, and he took eight wickets in an innings victory in Delhi.

About
For three seasons, Sreesanth was hardly anything more than an answer to a trivia question - who is the only Kerala bowler to have taken a Ranji Trophy hat-trick ? His rise, though, was rapid, and since he played for a weak side, unnoticed. Not too many bowlers get selected for the Duleep Trophy in their first season, like Sreesanth did in 2002-03 after snapping up 22 wickets in his first seven games.

Although Mohit Sharma burst onto the domestic scene during Haryana's best Ranji Trophy season in 2011-12, he made his own headlines a year later. In his debut season Mohit had played just three matches when Haryana made an impressive run to the semi-finals, but during the 2012-13 Ranji season he emerged as one of the best fast bowlers in the country, finishing as the fifth-highest wicket-taker. Despite that, not many had seen or known about the youngster from Faridabad, who had been on the fringes ever since he rose through age-group cricket camps organised by the Haryana Cricket Association.

Despite being a teenager, Sanju Samson has emerged as a prime contender to be the flag-bearer of cricket for the state of Kerala, one of the few regions in India where football's popularity and following outdoes that of cricket. Samson shifted to Thiruvananthapuram in his early teens after taking his first cricket lessons in Delhi, where his father worked as a police constable. In Thiruvananthapuram, Sanju started creating waves in junior circuit with his bat. His impressive technique combined with an ability to time the ball first earned him a place in Kerala's U-19 team and a consistent outing in the Cooch Behar Trophy (domestic U-19 championship) elevated him into India's team for the U-19 Asia Cup in 2012.

About
At his sublime best, VVS Laxman is a sight for the gods. Wristy, willowy and sinuous, he can match - sometimes even better - Tendulkar for strokeplay. His on-side game is comparable to his idol Azharuddin's, yet he is decidedly more assured on the off side and has the rare gift of being able to hit the same ball to either side. The Australians, who have suffered more than most, paid the highest compliment after India's 2003-04 tour Down Under by admitting they did not know where to bowl to him. Laxman, a one-time medical student, finally showed signs of coming to terms with his considerable gifts in March 2001, as he tormented Steve Waugh's thought-to-be-invincible Australians with a majestic 281 to stand the Kolkata Test on its head. But even though he had another wonderful series against the Australians in 2003-04 with two centuries, one of them involving a back-from-the-dead, match-winning, 300-plus partnership with Kolkata ally Rahul Dravid at Adelaide, he hasn't quite managed the consistency that could have turned him into a batting great. Between dazzling and sometimes workmanlike hundreds, he has suffered the frustration of numerous twenties and thirties and has lost his place in the one-day side. Nothing, though, has deterred him from tormenting his favourite opponents with silken strokes and piles of runs: in the course of the double-hundred at Feroz Shah Kotla in 2008, he became the second Indian batsman after Tendulkar to score more than 2000 runs against the Australians. A couple of years later, batting with a runner due to back spasms, he conjured up a magical unbeaten 73 in a thrilling run-chase in Mohali.

Parthiv Patel Biography

Personal Information
Name : Parthiv Patel
Full Name : Parthiv Saneesh Nair
Nick Name : ---
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 9 March 1985
Place Of Birth : Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
height : ---

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Wicket-keeper batsman
Batting Style : Left-handed
Bowling Style : no
Test Debut : 8 August 2002 v England
One Day Debut : 4 January 2003 v New Zealand
T20 Debut : 4 June 2011 v West Indies

About
Small even for his tender age, when Parthiv Patel led his side onto the stage during the Wisden Indian Cricketer of the Century Awards in London in July 2002, some people assumed he was the team mascot. But within a month he had instead become Test cricket's youngest wicketkeeper - at 17 years, 153 days - when called up to replace the injured Ajay Ratra for the second Test at Trent Bridge. And he didn't do too badly either, scoring a gutsy, unbeaten 19 which helped stave off an Indian defeat. Parthivl's glovework has varied from the competent to the shoddy - he was splendid in the home series against West Indies in 2002-03, but then struggled to inspire confidence thereafter, especially when standing up to the spinners. His ability with the bat ensured that he got an extended run - he scored an aggressive 62 at Sydney in 2003-04, and then faced up to Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami with plenty of poise, scoring 69 as an opener. However, those batting performances weren't enough to gloss over increasingly sloppy work behind the stumps, and the selectors' patience finally ran out after the third Test of the home series against Australia, when he was replaced by Dinesh Karthik. Parthiv's form took a turn for the better in 2007, on a twin tour of Zimbabwe and Harare for India A, where he hit three hundreds and a half-century. In the first match of a series against South Africa A at home Parthiv opened up with a fourth century on the trot.

Johindar Sharma Biography

Personal Information
Name : Joginder Sharma
Full Name : Joginder Singh Sharma
Nick Name : ---
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 23 October 1983
Place Of Birth : mokhra,Rohtak, Haryana, India
height : 1.77 m (5 ft 10 in)

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : All-rounder
Batting Style : Right-handed
Bowling Style : Right arm fast-medium
Test Debut : Debut
One Day Debut : 23 December 2004 v Bangladesh
T20 Debut : 19 September 2007 v England

About
Joginder Sharma has a few things in common with Kapil Dev. He plays for Haryana, can give the ball a mighty thwack and has the surprise factor with his nippy medium pace. Most importantly, he has the convention-defying streak that Kapil displayed everytime he played. Joginder bowls with a mixed action and can trouble the best with his lively seam bowling - like he did to Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Yuvraj Singh while playing for India A against India Seniors before the Australia series. With two successive hundreds and a ten-wicket haul at the start of the 2004-05 Ranji Trophy season, he won himself a place in India's one-day squad for the tour to Bangladesh. He was back to the grind of domestic cricket after that series but outstanding performances in the next two years won him a spot in the squad for the home series against West Indies in early 2007. Joginder will perhaps always be remembered as the bowler who dismissed Misbah-ul-Haq in the final of the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 to cap mad scenes in Johannesburg. Sharma, India's least likely bowling hero, had bowled three outstanding overs for 13 runs, taking one wicket, but it was that last dismissal that turned him into a hero. He has not played another game for India since, but was picked up by the Indian Premier League's Chennai franchise, the Super Kings.

Asish Nehra Biography

Personal Information

Full Name : Ashish Nehra
Nick Name : ---
Parents : ---
Date Of Birth : 30 April 1979
Place Of Birth : Delhi, India
height : ---

Cricket Life
Team : India
Main Role : Bowler
Batting Style : Right Handed
Bowling Style : Left Arm Fast Medium
Test Debut : 24 February 1999 v Sri Lanka
One Day Debut : 21 June 2001 v Zimbabwe
T20 Debut : 9 December 2009 v Sri Lanka

About
Ashish Nehra brings to the popping-crease most of the virtues of a classical left-arm fast bowler - pace, accuracy, subtle variations of line and length, an ability to move the ball off the wicket and a devastating late inswinger that can harass the best. He came out of his first full tour - to Zimbabwe in 2000-01 - with his reputation as one of the most promising new-ball bowlers on the international circuit vastly enhanced, and his performance at Bulawayo played a key role in India's winning a Test outside the subcontinent for the first time in 15 years. He struggled to establish himself thereafter, as inconsistency and injuries saw him slip down the pace bowling list. The high point of that difficult period came in the 2003 World Cup against England, where he scalped 6-23 and then threw up by the side of the pitch. Surgery on a troublesome ankle, and an indifferent tour of Australia followed, but having ceased to be an automatic pick, he performed creditably in Pakistan. His injury battles returned to haunt him when he pulled out midway through the 2005 Zimbabwe tour and he had a succession of operations on his ankle that slowed down his career. He hit the headlines with creditable showings in the IPL, particularly in the second season, and was recalled to the ODI squad for the tour of West Indies in June 2009.

About
A tall legspinner capable of extracting extra bounce from pitches, Rahul Sharma made a name for himself with impressive performances for Pune Warriors in the 2011 IPL. He dismissed Sachin Tendulkar in Pune's match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium and then had figures of 2 for 7 in the return fixture at the DY Patil Stadium. Those performances helped him find a place in the Indian ODI squad for the home series against England in October 2011. He did not make the playing XI in that series or the Tests against West Indies that followed, but finally debuted in the fourth ODI against West Indies in Indore in December. He enjoyed a good bit of success in the match, striking with the last ball of each of his first three overs to derail West Indies.

About
Praveen Kumar had everything to become a domestic cricket legend: limited pace but ability to swing the ball both ways, persistence to bowl long spells, and an almost intuitive knowledge of how to take wickets on unresponsive Indian wickets. But he took his limited pace and remarkably smart application of that ability to a higher level, claiming 10 wickets in four matches in his debut ODI series, including a match-winning spell against Australia in the final of the 2007-08 CB Series.

One Day Debut : 17 April 1998 v New Zealand
T20 Debut : 1 December 2006 v South Africa

About
A player of passion, with talent to match, Harbhajan Singh is India's most successful offspin bowler. Purists might mutter about a lack of loop and flight, but he is very much a product of his times where short boundaries, heavy bats and shorter forms afford little latitude to slow bowlers. Bowling with a windmilling, whiplash action, remodelled after he was reported for throwing, he deals by varying his length and his pace, and can turn it the other way too. His deadliest ball, however, is the one that climbs wickedly from a length, forcing a hurried jab. In March 2001, it proved too much for the all-conquering Australians, as Harbhajan collected 32 wickets in three Tests, including the first Test hat-trick by an Indian, while none of his team-mates managed more than three.

About
Kapil Dev, the man who remained India's main strike bowler for almost 15 years, needs no introduction. On many occasions he single-handedly won matches for India and easily became the most popular pin-up boy of the country. For an Indian fast bowler, taking 434 wickets in test cricket is indeed a great achievement. When Kapil was just 20, he set a new record of scoring 1000 runs and taking 100 wickets. He made this record within a period of one year and 109 days only.

Few medium-pacers had generated as much hype before bowling a ball in first-class, let alone international cricket as Munaf Musa Patel, the young boy from the little town of Ikhar in Bahruch, Gujarat did in early 2003. Kiran More, now chairman of selectors, had seen him bowl in the nets and sent him straight to the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai to train under TA Sekhar and Dennis Lillee.

About
With a physique and attitude that is reminiscent of a young Javagal Srinath, Ishant Sharma shot into prominence during the 2007-08 Test series in Australia. Standing at 6'4", his rhythmic, high-arm action allowed him to bowl at around 140 kph. For one who started serious cricket at 14, his rise was rapid and he made his Ranji Trophy debut at 18. An injury to Munaf Patel provided him an opening during India's tour of Bangladesh in May 2007 but it was in Australia where he caught the attention, prompting Steve Waugh to call him the next best thing in Indian cricket

About
The son of former Indian allrounder Roger Binny, Stuart has established himself as a very useful cricketer in the same discipline. He made his Karnataka debut in the 2003-04 season but couldn't maintain a regular place in the first-class line-up. He considers himself a limited-overs specialist and when the Indian Cricket League came calling in 2007, he signed up and made a name for himself as one of the tournament's premier allrounders. Stuart relies more on a stump-to-stump-line and taking the pace off the ball, making him difficult to get away.
