Clive Lloyd
Clive Lloyd was one of the best captains of West Indies. Apart from that, he was also known as the finest batsman of his side. By scoring 7500 runs at an average of 46.7 from 110 tests, one can simply identify his batting skills. There is no other side he loved playing against more than India.
