Most handsome cricketers XI of all time

#7 David Gower

David Gower is one of the most stylish players to have graced the game

One of the most elegant left-handed batsmen of all time, David Gower was a real charming face during his playing days. There is something inherently graceful about the way a left-hander plays and Gower was a perfect example of a batsman who made batting look ridiculously easy.

He was one of the most prolific run scorers in English history and is the fourth highest run-scorer for England in Tests, only behind Alec Stewart, Graham Gooch and Alastair Cook. Gower appeared in 117 Test matches for England scoring 8,231 runs at an average of 44.25. A beautiful timer of the ball, Gower played his farewell Test against Pakistan in 1992 to bring down the curtains on an illustrious career.

A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.

Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman.
