7. Matthew Hayden
Whenever we remember; Matthew Lawrence Hayden, we get an outright image of a muscular, broad shouldered and immensely powerful batsman sending shivers down bowlers’ spine with his intimidating batsmanship. His famous walks down the track to fast bowlers use to instill fear in their minds as the walk was followed by some severe hammering, all around the park. His opening partnership with Adam Gilchrist is symbolized as one of the most dangerous opening pairs in the history of ODI cricket.
Over a career spanning 15 glorious years in the Yellow jersey, the Aussie southpaw played 154 matches and slaughtered 6,131 runs at an average of 44 and strike-rate of 79.
