Michael Clarke

Making his international debut four years after Nehra, former Australian skipper Michael Clarke played in 394 international matches across all the formats, scoring almost 17,000 runs in an illustrious career that saw him win two World Cups, one as a player and one as a captain.
Without a doubt, Clarke, who was a right-handed batsman and bowled slow left-arm, is one of the finest Australian captains to have led the team as he has tasted a lot of success at the helm. Clarke ended his 12-year-old international career in August 2015. Incidentally, he even made his first-class debut for New South Wales after the Indian pacer.
After his retirement, Clarke became a Cricket Pundit and was named in Channel Nine's broadcast team that had the likes of Ian Chappell, Mark Nicholas, Shane Warne etc.
