Dravid
I think after that it will be Younis Khan

Dravid

 

[ma1978]

Dravid had a lot of iconic knocks

Johannesburg, Calcutta, Adelaide, Headingley, Rawalpindi

For me that’s him ahead of Sanga and Kalis

Others may reasonably disagree

You can make reasonable arguments for a bunch of these players to be shuffled around depending on what you value. Dravid had a marginally worse record against the best teams but played several of the best knocks I've seen in really tough conditions (more than most in the list I'd argue).

Very magnanimous of you. It's total crap.
