Sourav Ganguly is arguably the greatest-ever left-handed batsman to play for India. He was a great match-winner and considered one of the best ODI batsmen of his era. With his trademark sixes against spinners and cover drives against pacers, he was one of the most stylish batsmen of his generation. Moreover, Sourav Ganguly was one batsman who used to get in attacking mode from the start of the innings. As a result, he has single-handedly scored huge runs and gave a stable start to the team.
In contrast, there’s Virender Sehwag, who is known as one of the most powerful batsmen ever. His style is often described as unconventional, as he often steps back to give himself more room to hit his shots, especially when cutting or driving spinners outwardly. Virender Sehwag is known for his highly aggressive approach to batting. Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack described him as the “most thrilling opener in the world” in 2005.” He was one of the most trusted opening batsmen in India.
Both these cricketers have created records as openers and were one of a kind. So who, according to you, is the best Indian opening batsman among them?
