The peerless Sunny Gavaskar rated him as the best batsman he ever saw - slightly above Sobers and Vivian and Barry Richards, who he rates at number 2. ----In my opinion, the most underrated cricketer ever.

Though Don Bradman is considered the overall greatest batsman ever, Gary Sobers the overall greatest allrounder ever, and Vivian Richards the most devastating, entertaining, feared, innovative and majestic batsman ever, Kanhai is considered by many to be the most naturally talented ever.

hi plz see it???

[coolhunknik]

best batsman world have ever had

the most underrated cricketer ever.

@Imrankniazi what has the number of opponents and the countries he played in got to do with anything? If anything it strengthens the case for him to be heralded as the best batsmen ever. The fact is, Bradman's opponents were the best there was. He played most tests against England. That would be like playing most of your tests against the West Indies in their heyday or Australia in theirs. How many players today have boosted their records scoring easy runs against weak test playing nations?

ROHAN KANHAI?? Sounds like Indian name how come playing for W.I.

@Imrankniazi ..{contd.}

Graeme Pollock, Garfield Sobers, Greg Chappell, Viv Richards, Barry Richards, Ken Barrington, Gavaskar and Allan Border -- all played in a more professional era against great bowling attacks and performed brilliantly around the world. Any of these could have a valid claim that they are superior than Bradman simply because they had a better chance to prove their skills on a larger scale. See what I mean? Comparing amateurs to professionals is not a great idea!

[Imrankniazi]

@DKLillee355 IT's not about nationality. There are many people who seriously question Bradman's coveted position as the world's greatest batsman ever. For a man who played in only two countries and 4 opponents in his whole career, many feel it is an undeserved honour.

Same with George Headley, Hobbs, Sutcliffe and other great pre-war players. That was an amateur era and comparing across generations may leave the professional post-war players feeling undone.

@AIMANZUL1 All bowlers are managable on crappy english wickets if the ball isn't swinging.

[DKLillee355]

@shaikeleyas Come on mate all the greats say Bradman is the best ever so for once can an indian admit that an indian isn't the best.

[shaikeleyas]

and add pressure of billion expectations, different bowling attacks(not just england), more cricket in an year, sledging, more discipline in bowling lines and lets see where bradman stands.....i am not saying bradman is not great but bradman himself said....a champion in an era in a champion in any era....bradman is great and so is sachin
