11 Indian cricketers we wish could make a comeback just like Nokia 3310

Everybody loves a good comeback. No wonder the re-launch of the Nokia 3310 has drowned people in nostalgia. The phone was launched in European countries earlier in the month and went on sale in India last week, making it the biggest comeback ever in the world of tech. But, talking about comebacks, many Indians would love it in their favorite sport cricket too. We have compiled a list of cricketers from the yesteryears we wish could make a comeback.

Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev inspired an entire generation of cricketers after leading India to a win in the World Cup in 1983. His all-round abilities and strong leadership helped him become one of the most successful players and the captain of the Indian team.

Sunil Gavaskar

You may enjoy listening to him as a commentator now, but Gavaskar remains the undisputed champion in Indian cricket when it comes to facing real fast bowling. It can be argued that cricket was a much tougher game when Gavaskar played with helmets not as safe as today. And he faced some of the fastest bowlers the world has seen.

Krishnamachari Srikkanth

Much before Virender Sehwag, it was Kris Srikkanth who opened the innings for India and was popular for his attacking style of batting. He would take risks unlike his opening partner Sunil Gavaskar. Cricket fans from the 80s would remember his strokeplay even now.

Virender Sehwag

He never feared any bowler and he never cared about what critics said. Sehwag's record in both ODIs and Test are stunning. He is the only Indian batsman to score over 300 more than once. And his strike rate in both forms of the game was very impressive. His fans would just love him to see in action.

Sachin Tendulkar

The entire country was heartbroken when Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013. He continued to play for a few years in the Indian Premiere League, but stopped playing soon after. Even now, most Indian hearts wish the Little Master would make a comeback.

Sourav Ganguly

It was Sourav Gaguly's aggressive captaincy that changed Indian cricket forever. Popularly known as the Royal Tiger of Bengal in his playing days, no left-hander could play the cover drive as elegantly as the Bengal southpaw. His last playing days were turbulent, but many of his fans, especially in the cricket crazy city of Kolkata, would love to see him pick the bat again.

Rahul Dravid

After his retirement in 2012, Rahul Dravid left a vacuum in the Indian middle order which was filled by the likes of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test side. He became the coach of India's Under-19 team in 2015 and continues to be actively involved in grooming the youngsters and the future of India's cricket. Those who enjoy Test cricket would love to see him stand as The Wall on the pitch.

VVS Laxman

Not many memories could match India winning against Australia, from the position of a follow-on,  at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata after VVS Laxman played a heroic innings of 281. Laxman has been one of India's most successful batsmen against the dominant Australian side. We would really love to see him in action one more time.

Robin Singh

Much before M.S Dhoni's arrival, Robin Singh used to be one of the reliable finishers for India. He may not be remembered as the greatest Indian cricketer, but Robin Singh had a heart of steel on the cricket field. He was also one of the very few good fielders in the team back in the days.

Javagal Srinath

India has rarely been fortunate in the fast bowling department. And, for a very long time Javagal Srinath led the Indian bowling attack from the front. Even though there have been a few good fast bowlers after Srinath, he probably remains the best India has seen in recent times.

Anil Kumble

Leg spinners are rare. Indian team was lucky to have Anil Kumble. Who could forget his 10-wicket haul against Pakistan in Delhi. While he is in action as the coach of the current Indian team, fans would love to see him bowl again!
