#7. Suresh Raina

Suresh Raina took giant strides in the domestic circuit and debuted for India at the age of 19 after impressing everyone in the U-19 team. The left-hand batsman is one of the fittest cricketers across the world and is known for his power-hitting.

His flaws against the short delivery shortened his Test career but in the ODI format, he served India for one decade and went on to lead the side on tours of Zimbabwe.

During the later part of 2000's he was India's most reliable and successful middle-order batsman and rescued the team on several occasions with his quick running between the wickets and fearless strokeplay.

He scored more than 5000 runs in ODIs and has 36 half-centuries on his name. Although he averages only 26.48 in Tests, he is one of the few batsmen to score a hundred in the debut Test innings.
