5 Dream Battles Every Cricket Fan Would Have Loved To Watch

#3 Vivian Richards vs Shoaib Akhtar

Shoaib Akhtar

There is this one argument that says that Vivian Richards never played the fastest and the most fiercest bowlers of his era because they were all in his own team. So, this classic battle of Viv Richards taking on Shoaib Akhtar would have been a classic one.

Richards was a man who just dismantled bowlers and dismissed the ball from his presence with sheer disdain. His typical swagger combined with brutal power made him the most feared batsman of his generation. Shoaib Akhtar, on the other hand, was an express, a man who consistently bowled in the region of 95 Mph. He has rattled even the best of batsmen with raw pace. So, this battle of fire taking on fire would have been incredible.

#2 Virat Kohli vs Glenn Mcgrath

Kohli and McGrath

If there was one man who made the likes of Tendulkar and Lara uncomfortable, it was the great Glenn Mcgrath. His impeccable line and length coupled with his ability to make the ball move after it hits the deck made him a match winner for his team.

Virat Kohli, on the other hand, is a batting dynamo who has been plundering runs at will against every opposition. Kohli’s insatiable hunger for runs coupled with his intent to dominate has makes him undoubtedly the best batsman of the modern era. Mcgrath with his line and great control might have probably made things a lot tougher for Virat and made it a riveting battle to watch.
