Elite League - The Best Cricketers Ever From Each Nation

8. West Indies – Sir Viv Richards:

Earlier when batting was done with more of a conservative approach, Sir Viv was the one who broke the shackles and unleashed a relatively new aggressive brand of cricket. A destructive batting with monstrous talent, Sir Viv Richards when in his groove can be a nightmare for even the best of bowlers. He hit 84 sixes in test cricket, a rather prodigious stat, that bears witness to his unprecedented aggressive brand of cricket. Richards was judged by Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack to have played the best ODI innings of all time. Despite being a limited overs specialist Richards averages over 50 in tests as well.
