Delhi has also been a place from where lots of cricketers have risen to become legends of the game in the international circuit. Cricketers from Delhi often come with their own flamboyant nature and thought processes, which are often reflected in their performances on the field. Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Ashish Nehra, Ishant Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli are only a few such players.

The left-right duo of Gambhir and Sehwag has provided solid starts at the top of the order on multiple occasions. The two were integral constituents of the World Cup 2011-winning side. Ishant started his career with some magical spells and maintained a legacy of being a dependable Test bowler. On the other hand, Kohli requires no introduction. The legendary batter has been a name synonymous with cricket and has become the face of the sport.
