5) Mike Gatting (England)- 110Kg
Mike Gatting’s weight issues are well documented. Other than his reverse sweep that cost England the 1987 WC, his fitness issues were quite popular. Despite all of this, the plumb batsman was a legend of his time.
Gatting weighed 110 kgs and his foot movement was minimal, to say the least. However, despite this, he was one of the few players to have mastered the Indian spinners in India. The former English skipper also led England to a few Ashes victories.
Gatting scored 4409 Test runs and 2096 ODI runs respectively. His average in Tests and ODIs are 35.56 and 29.1 respectively. Thus, it could be said that his weight issues didn’t really impact his game.
