Aggressive cricketing XI of all time

5. Vivian Richards

Sir Vivian Richards was one hell of an aggressive batsman. However, a lot of people might not know about his attitude on the field. He was very respectful for his oppositions, but if someone tried to mess with him, then he would show them who was the actual boss. The right-handed batsman was way ahead of his time. His style of batting was unseen when he made his mark at the international level. 

The way he would bat would often scare the opposition. You can sledge him, he will sledge you back with his witty humor. But, the next thing you know he is hitting the ball all across the field. There are enough instances of him showing his aggression on the field. But, he earned respect globally, sometimes for being a good player and sometimes for being a good human being. 

The right-handed batsman played 121 Tests and scored 8540 runs. Interestingly, he played in an era when T20 cricket was way beyond imagination but he managed to score his runs with a strike rate of more than 80. In ODIs as well, he had a strike rate of 90 in that era. He played 187 matches and scored 6721 runs.
