Former Australia player Michael Clarke is still remembered for his unprecedented batting talent. In red-ball cricket, he is the fifth-highest run-getter for his national side with 8643 runs in 198 innings of 115 Tests. While in ODIs, he is the fourth-leading run-scorer for the Aussies with 7981 runs in 223 innings of 245 matches. 

In 2012, Clarke scored an unbeaten 329 against India in the Sydney Test and joined iconic players such as Matthew Hayden, Brian Lara, and Sanath Jayasuriya, who smashed triple-century in Tests. He also led the Aussies to the 2015 World Cup win as a skipper.

Clarke, the dashing Aussie, used to listen to loud music before going out in the middle to bat. He believed that doing this activity used to bring him good fortune and also help him boost his concentration while playing for his team.
