Top 10: Underrated Cricketers by Fans of Late 90s to Present

10: Hasim Amla

Hashim Amla might never be the first name on everybody’s lips when they discuss South African greats, but he will be among the top ones for time immemorial. A true servant of the game and one of the most underrated greats this wonderful sport has seen.

9: Chanderpaul

When it comes to underappreciated cricketers, West Indies' Shivnarine Chanderpaul certainly will find his name in the list.

With more than 10,000 runs in test cricket and 9000 runs in ODIs, Chanderpaul served West Indies cricket for more than two decades. His tally of 41 tons and 125 fifties speaks volumes of his caliber.

For all his services to the Caribbean team, he was subjected to needless pressure by the administration and eventually bid goodbye to international cricket in January 2016 without getting a farewell match.

8: Gautam Gambhir

Nobody remembers Gautam Gambhir's knock of 54-ball-75, which contributed to more than half the Indian team's total, without which India wouldn't have got an ICC World T20 title against their name.

From providing Sehwag an invaluable support at the top of the order in the longer format to batting as a floater in ODIs to the role of an opener in T20Is – Gautam Gambhir’s services are without a doubt are priceless.

7: Brad Hodge

Hodge's great international experience has proved essential in tight run chases, with the Victorian rarely buckling under pressure. A wide range of stokes, and an uncanny ability to keep his team within touching distance of the asking rate, are priceless abilities. He is also a good finisher yet he is very underrated by fans

6: Saeed anwar

I think his touch and ability was better than sachin close to lara !! It’s his fitness was weak .EvenPakistanis rate him lower than inzi javed yousuf ... and in international level he was rated very low !

5: Ajit Agarkar

Early in his career, Ajit achieved the rare feat when he broke Dennis Lillee's world record for achieving the fastest 50 wickets in ODI cricket and that too in a mere 23 matches. He emerged as the best bowler in the o 4: Damien Martyn ne day series against West Indies in 2006 owing to some match-winning performances. Yet he is underrated by fans

4: Damien Martyn

Damian Martyn. Never seemed to get the plaudits he deserved. People said he couldn’t play spin but Australia won two series in the sub continent due to his efforts. At his best, one of the most sublime timers of the ball I have seen.

3: Javagal Srinath

Javagal Srinath played 67 Tests (236 wickets), 229 ODIs (315 wickets) for India between 1991 and 2003. He played in four World Cups (1992, 1996, 1999 and 2003). Yet he is completely underrated by cricket fans.

2: Jason Holder

When comes to cricket of west indies hitters gayle, russell, pollard name can come from the mouth of a fan. But not the name of their captain super talented Holder.

1: George Bailey

He captained the Australian side in the absence of Micheal Clarke due to an ongoing back injury during the tour to India in the same year during the last quarter which included a seven-match ODI series and a T20I.

And, his stunning figures were enough to amaze anyone who was watching him for the first time. But in the same year, he left the captaincy of the national side to focus solely on then, upcoming ICC World Cup 2015.As Steve Smith grew, batting at third position and leading the national side both became a far cry for Bailey.
