As a country whose lifeblood is cricket, India has had a long list of cricketers who have made the country proud. The pantheon is too big and too glittered—such is the immensity of quality, that cricketers in the country seem to suffer daily from 'good' not being good enough. In the long list, many stand out; from the Master Blaster on the West coast to 'dada' in the East.
