#9 Brian Lara
West Indian batting genius Brain Lara was an exceptional stroke maker in ODI arena. The immensely talented left-hander made batting look pleasing to the eye with his wristy stroke play and sublime timing. Lara looked like a magician with the willow courtesy his high backlift, late shuffle and nimble footwork.
Lara could change the course of a game by scoring some scintillating hundreds. Pace or spin, Lara had a wide range of shots in his repertoire to dominate attacks. He was the best batsman of the West Indian ODI team for almost a decade and a half.
