Ranji. Meh, I can understand as he's a deserving legend. But at the beginning of this battle, I would've pegged Imran to make the final 20 easily.

Round of 64, Battle 3
We shall define a legend of cricket on the basis of the following criteria:
- An influential figure who made a significant impact on the way the game is played on the field.
- An influential figure who remained involved in and made significant contributions to the game off the field.
- A hero or an icon who served as an inspiration for others (cricketers as well as the general public) and will be remembered for years to come.
- Remember that a legend is defined not merely by cricket records but also by aura, impact and legacy.
Battle 3
Kerry Packer (media tycoon, founder of World Series Cricket, introduced modern elements such as colored clothing and day/night matches)
versus
Bernard Bosanquet (invented the googly)
This battle will close after 12 hours (or earlier if it's a no contest IMO) with a lead of at least 5. Otherwise, it will close after 24 hours.
