Even Though Graeme Smith missed out on a series victory over England as captain in 2003, he achieved that in 2008. Especially in the Birmingham Test match, during the fourth innings with South Africa chasing a 280+ target, Smith played a crucial role. 🧵6/15

Jonty Rhodes was replaced by a young 22-year old in the WC squad and at that time nobody knew that this same young player would not only lead the South Africa squad in their next tour but also go on to captain South Africa for the next 10 years. 🧵11/15

Middle order is the toughest position to bat but he played very well. Despite possessing exceptional talent still played few matches. That is all about "Ambati Thirupathi Rayudu". If you like this thread then please share it with others. Thanks for your time. #CricketTwitter

Whenever Punjab plays against CSK, I always remember Paul Valthaty's amazing innings in 2011. He scored 120* runs in just 63 balls. That day Punjab's other top batsmen couldn't do much, but Valthaty played incredibly well and won the match for Punjab almost on his own.

Many people initially used to say that he only perform in swinging conditions, but that perception has changed significantly over the last 10 years. Since 2015 his average in Asia was 23.5 which is very close to his average in other conditions(22.5). 10/n

Age is just a number, Anderson is the perfect example for this. While many cricketers especially fast bowlers, see their careers winding down by age 35, Anderson has defied this trend entirely. Since turning 35 he has taken 220 wickets. No other fast bowler took more wickets than

Exactly, Yuvraj average in international cricket is less than 40, but what people remember is his impact in games like the NatWest final, T20 WC, 2011 WC and many games.

Travis Head has 6226 runs in international cricket at an average of 40.16 in 168 innings for Australia in international cricket. When he does retire for good ,people will remember him for his impact in big games not his overall runs. He's already a legend in my book!

Sangakkara played Test Cricket for 16 years, only three of those 16 years his average in the calendar year was less than 40. What's truly incredible is that in 10 calendar years, his average was above 50. Even in the twilight of his career he remained incredibly consistent. 2/n
