1. Kapil Dev 

Arguably the greatest cricketer India has ever produced Kapil Dev is at the numero uno spot. A player who was well ahead of time very often produced some remarkable knocks during his legendary career.

Way back in 1986, Kapil Dev at Kanpur against Sri Lanka celebrated a 74 ball century. The former World Cup-winning captain taught the bowling attack of Sri Lanka a harsh lesson and scored 163 runs. He completely tore apart the entire Sri Lankan bowling attack.

34 years later no Indian batsman has been able to break Kapil’s record and he still has the fastest Test ton by an Indian.
