There is a lot to learn from this league of extraordinary gentlemen. They make such fine ambassadors ofthis great country of ours.While picking these 10 cricketers I did not have to think much because each of these gentlemen havemade an impact on our lives in the last 25 years.Whether it is the Fabulous Four of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman,or the spin duo of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, fantastic Virender Sehwag, flamboyant Yuvraj orthe ever cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni or the magical Zaheer Khan, they have all made an impact indifferent ways.I have a lot to learn from each of these gentlemen because they have different qualities. Tendulkarshumility is a lesson for all of us, Dravids steely resolve is worth emulating, Ganguly and MS Dhoni offercontrasting lessons in leadership skills. Similarly the fighting spirit of the spin pair of Kumble andHarbhajan or the devil-may-care attitude of Sehwag or the sheer natural ability of Yuvraj, coupled withthe self-confidence of Zaheer. All this has impacted me and no doubt billions of others.As I compiled this book, I was left wondering how wonderful it was for Indian cricket to have all thesegentlemen play almost at the same time. Very rarely have cricket teams been built around individuals whoare the best at what they do. It is indeed a privilege and a honour to have seen these extraordinarycricketers in the same era. One can learn so much from simply playing back their exploits. The videos oftheir efforts still make for compelling viewing.As you would imagine I am a complete cricket nut. For me nothing else mattered. It therefore felt great tocompile my thoughts on these 10 extraordinary cricketers.
