#2. Kris Srikkanth
Kris Srikkanth was the first legend Tamil Nadu gifted to India. The flamboyant batsman was a favourite amongst the crowd and was capable of inflicting serious damage at the top of the order.
His aggressive batting was the perfect balance to Sunil Gavaskar's calm and serene approach and the duo stitched some memorable batting partnerships.
Srikanth's finest phase in cricket was the 1983 world cup when his runs at the top of the order provided India relief and also laid the foundation of the historic title triumph.
He scored only two hundreds in his 72 Test innings and averaged a mere 29.88. But his greatness lies not in numbers but in the style of his batting which earned him a million fans.
His stint in ODI's yielded better results and finished his career with more than four thousand runs in 145 innings. His swashbuckling knock of 102 off 104 balls scripted India's famous chase against Australia in 1986 while his 123 off only 103 balls against Pakistan in a losing cause exhibited his batting prowess.
