Rebecca is such a professional, not only did she pronounce all of the names properly, she makes it sound like she has known the game and the players like she's watched cricket all her life.

Kallis was a rare breed of player who was a genuine all-rounder. He set the standard for the modern all-rounder and no one has done it like him since

As an Aussie…. Tendulkar is a god of the bat! Bradman is amazing in his own right, but I saw this list and straight up thought Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar is one of a kind star..with change in times, not sure anybody can reach his kind of stardom. No matter which era of cricket keeping a strike rate of 99.94 is by all chances next to impossible which makes Don Bradman a legend

Great list but Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid, AB Devilliers, Steve Smith deserve mentions and let me remind you that the day Kohli retires, this list will be rewritten with his name on top.

"I feel like watching myself bat while watching this kid bat." - Sir Don Bradman on young Sachin Tendulkar.

Mad Respect for Rebecca. Her pronunciation of all the names were so fluent. She's a true professional.

As a former cricket and net bowler from Antigua and Barbuda, I am very grateful to have never had my ass beat by any of these legends due to never having to face them.

As an Australian, I think kolhi is one of the greatest. He has made India more aggressive than before which I love. Love watching him play.

“Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives.” - BBC Sports “On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt at one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing a century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This genius can stop time in India!” - Peter Roebuck “Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed because even the Lord is watching.” - A placard at the Sydney Cricket Ground “I don’t know cricket, I don’t know how Sachin plays. But I still try to watch him playing because I want to know why my country’s economy goes down 0.5% when he’s batting.” - Barack Obama “Gentlemen, he is the best batsman I have seen in my life. And unlike most of you, I have seen Bradman bat.” - John Woodcock (English journalist) “He is someone sent from up there to play cricket and go back.” - Ravi Shastri “If Sachin bats well, India sleeps well.” - Harsha Bhogle

Nobody plays the ball sweeter than Lara. Joy to watch him dance.

For me, Kallis is the best cricketer of all time, But when it comes to batting, Sachin is the most complete batsman.

Oh. So pleasing to see Kumar Sangakkara in this list. His shots were something else 🔥. Specially the picture perfect cover drive is just the chef's kiss.

Sachin... Sachin, Sachin... Sachin! Still it's not forgettable, love you Sachin❤️

Glad to see Sangakkara in the list, one of the most underrated batsman out there and a gentleman of the game...love from India 🇮🇳❣️

We need a list of bowlers next

Cricket is not just a sport. It's an art A battlefield between bat and ball

As an Antiguan I'm so very proud to see my national hero on this. Small countries usually go unnoticed so.its nice when I happens

11 Oct 2010, Bengaluru. There I saw Sachin Tendulkar for the first time in a stadium. Was a dream come true. The next day he scored a double-century against Australia. A very special moment.

There was a time sachin was struggling to play cover drive, his most favorite shot. He was getting out and out and out again and again. Before the Sydney test 2004 he said in a press conference that he's not gonna play cover drive in the next match. Then the world saw the most Diciplined inning of all time, He played more than 430 balls and scored 241 runs. And didn't play his favorite shot. My god! That day he literally turned on the God mode forever

Wow what a great list, Sachin is the best of them all love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Not a bad list at all. Was expecting some weird ones. Kumar Sangakarra is probably the best I've seen in all formats. Alastair Cook, Graham Gooch, AB DeVilliers, Chris Gayle, Mathew Hayden, Virat Kohli, Verender Sehwag, Adam Gilchrist.. All Superb but I cant argue with this top 10 :)

Cricket = Sachin. This guy made cricket what it is today. He made the game popular and inspired a generation of future stars.

The Greatest Moment of my life when i watched Sachin Tendulkar with my own eyes in Eden Garden , Kolkata on 6 Nov, 2013

What’s make Viv, Sunil and Sachin and even Javed so special is that in those time bowling and restrictions for batsmen were on different level. They have faced most brutal bowlers of all time. They faced the grates and dominated at many occasions.

Love seeing cricket attention from this channel. Great job on the list, wish WatchMojo showed the name of the writers, whoever wrote this did their work on it

Brian Lara was something else. Real legend.

Rebecca's pronunciation of subcontinent/Asian cricketers are better than most professional cricket commentators from countries outside the subcontinent

Makes you realize with the people in this list, there is literally no space to include the modern day greats such as Virat in the top 10s. This video honestly made me emotional..

Such a great list. There are so many cricket greats that are still out there Arvinda De silva, Alan Border, Rahul Dravid. They made the sport alive.

sorry for american viewers but i am glad to see that watchmojo got the icc t20 worldcup fever🔥

Sachin tendulkar is known as the GOD of cricket. I was shocked when I saw him at no. 2. But Don Bradman at no. 1 can't be argued against.

Sachhhhhin......sachhhhinn...... No one else ruled like that man....

Watch mojo entering in to Cricket, I am glad I lived to see this 😍😍😍😍

Really wanted to see Adam Gilchrist on the list but the list is just too good!!Can't argue.

Nice to see Two West Indian Batsmen in the Top 5

As a West Indian I already knew Viv Richards and Lara had to be on this list without watching

Kumar Sangakkara was something else

I love how watchmojo is trying new things for its fans

Hit LIKE FOR SIR RAHUL DRAVID, Who was greatly missed in this List!!

Honarable Mention : Rahul Dravid & Virat Kohli ( India ) , Zahir Abbas & Inzamam-ul-haq ( Pakistan ) , Desmond Haynes & Garry Sobers ( West Indies ) Gregg Chappal & Matthew Hayden ( Australia ) Geoffrey Boycott & Joe Root ( England ) AB de Villiers ( South Africa )

Overwhelmed to see cricket making a cut at WM ❤️

Wow a list on cricket players. Nice job WatchMojo 👏. Not only I am happy to see a video on cricket players but equally delighted about the insights you have provided about each player, from their nicknames to their speciality

I consider myself lucky to witness VIV RICHARDS scoring a century in 80's. His game ahead of his times. SACHIN is the most complete batsman but LARA was not too far away . DON & HOBBS posses unbreakable batting records. If i get a chance to board a time machine , I would love to go back to those times to watch them bat. SUNIL GEVSKAR & JAVED MIANDAD were mentally toughest guys to face challenges posed by greatest fast bowlers of their generation. Thanks Rebecca❤❤❤

A good list. But I think Sir Garfield Sobers should be in the Top 5. He is worshipped by some of biggest stars ever; some of whom reckon he was also the best batsman they have personally seen.

A big thumbs up to the team curating the content and love to see different things from around the globe for a change. Keep up the good work. For me Sachin would always be #1

The lists about top 10 batter of all time but Kallis is an all rounder, the level of Kallis was something else

I'm just gonna say one thing "Sachin Sabka baap Hai"

As a batsman, Virat Kohli is second to only Vivian Richards here. Don Bradman never played LO Cricket.

Undoubtedly it has to be Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, the man who beared the pressure of billion people on his shoulders whenever he came out to bat

#1 Tendulkar #2 Brian Lara #3 Don Bradman #4 Viv Richard's #5 Ricky pointing.

If you do greatest cricket captain, Imran Khan have to be on the list

Cricket = Sachin... No questions asked! Great to see Watch Mojo getting into Cricket. It would be interesting to see top 10 Cricketers (batters, blowers, keepers) for each Continent or different Decades

This video is pure goosebumps for a cricketing fan. As a Indian , my favorite batsman is Kumar Sangakkara because of how peak he reached during his later years. My favorite classic shot batsman SACHIN sweet stylish batsman LARA Fan of his attitude SIR VIV

Can't argue with this list. The list of bowlers is also hard to argue.

well not having modern era GOAT 'VIRAT KOHLI' in the list is quite interesting,man has scored over 24k+runs and 71centuries and also was awarded as the ICC 'PLAYER OF THE DECADE' for 2010-20s

I am a Cricket fan and I hugely appreciate your effort to put up a video about Cricket. This would help to spread the popularity of the game.

I would’ve been shocked if bradman didn’t make number one he’s the GOAT and I’m not even a big cricket fan. Man I miss watching it on a summers day one day tests were so exciting

Man watching Javed Miandad's batting always enlightens me, it really was fantastic! as a Pakistani myself, i do agree that his amazing batting skills were still a bit short as compared to the likes of our rivals such as Sachin Tendulkar but what puts Miandad on top was his brilliant positive, bright and jolly attitude! Loved the video! Thanks for highlighting cricket in you videos and also please do make a Bowlers list too!

I'm a triniidadian and a west Indian. It's nice to see y'all take an interest in cricket. Hopefully y'all could do some more. Thanks for the upload.

When Virat Kohli is done, he'll be in this list . Infact he is in many people's list right now

Jaques Kallis has to be the most underrated, overlooked cricketer ever.

Modern day legend kohli should be here Sachin will always be the god of cricket

According to me 1. Don Bradman 2. Sachin 3. Virat 4. Lara 5. Ab deviliers 6.richards 7. Sangakara 8. Dravid 9. Ponting 10. Kallis It including all formats odi test and T20 and also including modern day cricket

So weird hearing about cricket from this channel, I just kept cringing thinking there's going to be a mistake at some stage......much love from SA 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Thanks for covering Cricket WatchMojo.

The Don right where he should always be in the top spot

Kallis undoubtedly the best cricketer to ever play. Could walk into any team for his bowling alone and could score at par with Sanga Lara even Sachin and ponting

Greatest batsmen (retired) would be apt.. coz there is the G.O.A.T Virat Kohli averaging 50+ across not two but three formats of the game for over a decade with highest number of centuries only next to Sachin. King for a reason..

Some of the greatest batsmen in cricket And Rebecca made no mistakes when it comes to introducing these fine batsmen she speaks with such class and as a proud member of the West Indies WE APPROVE THIS VIDEO (🇹🇹)

This is possibly the best list I can think after watching and learning cricket for over 15 years. Kudos to Watchmojo team for making this close to perfect list even though this channel isn’t cricket channel.

Perfect list. Sir Don is the greatest of all time. That's nothing to doubt about.

If you made a top 20 Batsman of all time Andy Flower of Zimbabwe deserves a place

Reading the title - the name Sachin Tendulkar automatically comes to mind. Says it all! ❤

For me,Sachin Tendulkar is the epitome of batting.He was both a connoisseur's delight with classical technique and also an entertainer with aggressive and attacking batting skills. From a wonderboy at age 16 who exploded on to the world stage to his retirement after almost a quarter of a century Tendulkar persistently lived up to the expectations of more than a billion Indians.A true legend of the game and undoubtedly one of the greatest batsman ever.

A wonderful list I must say. No question or arguments about the choices and rankings. WatchMojo researched very very well before putting this into RU-vid, as they know that around 2 Billion people follow Cricket. There will always be some names people will think they were left out, but you just can't replace anyone from this list. I also felt that Garry Sobers should've been included, but who to replace?

I think Don is the greatest Test batsman ever and Viv Richards is the greatest ODI batsman ever. Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest Batsman ever. But Jacques Kallis is the greatest cricketer ever.

Proud Of You Rebecca For Your Dedication Of Rightly Pronouncing Everything Perfectly

Virat over Kallis as a batsman. Surprised he didn't make the cut

Bradman - Godfather of cricket Sachin - God of cricket..

WOW I cannot believe how good this list is, great research and unbiased. As a Pakistani i am happy with this list. Perhaps when its all set and done, Virat might sneak in the top 5 and babar might eclipse Javed as Pak’s greatest.

For Rebecca to not only get the players' names and their playing style spot on, along with sounding like an experienced watcher of the game, is remarkable and praise worthy. More power to her! And look forward to more such pleasant surprises. 😉

I'm sure during the end of his retirement, Virat Kohli's name would be right up there.

I was born in 1983,respect to tendulkar but for me it's hands down Brian Lara

Should make one video on the top 10 bowlers

Sachin tendulker is a leagend

As a watch mojo fan for the longest time, I wanna know who wrote this script. They probably weren’t from North America.

Kallis at number 9 is a bit unfair. He deserves better. He is undoubtedly the greatest all-rounder of all time

Absolutely loving the cricket content.

Abd : most complete batsman with both orthodox and unorthodox skills of this era. Kohli : most successful batsman of this era who ruled all formats with his basic orthodox cricket and scored loads of runs.

Fun Fact - Every list of the best batsmen to play Cricket starts with No. 3. No. 1 and No. 2 are reserved for Sir Donald Bradman and Sachin Tendulkar. Bradman is the only batsman that the cricketing world collectively agrees to have his name above Sachin.

Thanks for this. This was very very well researched. What a treat.

Abd and virat should also be part of this if we talk about all formats

The incomparable Sir Don's statistics will remain unconquered for all times to come.

A great job by Watchmojo. The indepth research into the game shows! Must admit it surpassed my expectations seeing that cricket doesn't have a name in the USA. Great list too though I'd replace Hobbs with a modern cricketer say, Virat.

Kohli Not Being In The List Is Major Crime

Virat Kohli is the GOAT. Man's gonna top the list after his retirement (hope its not anytime soon).

I watched this video only because of the thumbnail picture of Sachin... anyone else would have been there then it would be skipped. I totally agree with the list and the order of the legends but still Sachin is the face of any lengend list😍🔥🔥🔥

Statistically Bradman was better than Sachin but at the scenario both of them played was entirely different. Bradman played few matches where he played against few competitive teams only. Whereas Sachin played for 24 years where there was high level of competition between each and every test playing countries.
