Cricket is a gentleman’s game, yet the situation on the field can sometimes be very stressful for players, and still being calm is a tough job. After more than 100 years, cricket has evolved in batting, bowling, and fielding styles. We’ve seen a lot of excellent players this time, including a lot of players who were not just terrific at playing but also great at displaying calm and poise.
1. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
He was the captain of the Indian team. Even in many situations, we can learn from Mahendra Singh Dhoni not to panic. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been playing for many years, and it’s like saying Mahendra Singh Dhoni has a poker face; no one can guess what he is thinking in a situation or what his next step on the field will be.
2. Rahul Dravid
The wall of Indian cricket, Rahul Dravid, is one of the best Test-match batsmen of all time. His style of batting and playing patiently on the crease in situations is very learnable. Rahul Dravid is the batsman that every team wants to have on their side.
3. Kane Williamson
New Zealand team captain in all formats Kane Williamson is one of the most successful captains in New Zealand. In the 2019 World Cup Final, when New Zealand lost a match to England, Kane Williamson taught the world how to handle that situation with a smile.
4. AB De Villiers
Mr. 360 is a player from South Africa, but his playing style has won him fans worldwide. The AB de Villiers has played many great innings by calmly facing and hitting balls off the ground. AB De Villiers is one of the hazardous players when he plays without any pressure.
5. Daniel Vettori
Daniel Vettori, the leg arm spinner for the New Zealand team, was also an expert at dealing with situations. When every team captain was a batsman, Daniel Vettori was the only bowler who was the captain of the New Zealand team. Daniel Vettori also looks like a genius, so he is on the field.
6. Kumara Sangakkara
Kumara Sangakkara, the Sri Lankan batsman who was also the captain of Sri Lanka, was a reasonably neutral person on and off the field. When Dhoni hit the winning six in the 2011 World Cup against Sri Lanka, we observed his smile, which told us that he was sad about his loss but happy for the Indian team’s victory.
7. Eoin Morgan
A left-handed batsman and captain of the England team, Morgan is a player who is a master at hitting long sixes just by switching sides. Under the captaincy of Eoin Morgan, England won their first ODI World Cup. Morgan got selected as captain of the England team because of his composing nature.
8. Mahela Jayawardene
Mahela Jayawardene was a player who used to play shots with his techniques. Jayawardene also captained the Sri Lankan team. He has many records in all three formats, and he used to be very generous to other players.
9. Chris Gayle
The giant man may look like a monster, as he is when he is batting, but his character is the opposite, so cool and funny. A T20 boss is a man who can do whatever he wants when he is batting. He rules the match when he is in form.
10. Brendon McCullum
The former New Zealand opener is the player who makes batting look so simple, hitting shots like a player in a video game. He is the best opener of the New Zealand team and has excellent records, mainly in T20’s.
