Hashim Amla, no question. His numbers are right up there with the best, but he never got the hype of some of his peers. Averaged nearly 50 in both Tests and ODIs, and did it all with such grace and humility.

For me, it’s Ross Taylor. He was the backbone of New Zealand’s batting for over a decade and played a huge role in their rise as a cricketing nation, but rarely got the limelight outside NZ. Always dependable, especially in tough situations.

Chris Woakes is criminally underrated. He’s been England’s go-to all-rounder in all formats, especially at home, yet he’s always overshadowed by flashier names like Stokes or Archer. His record at Lord’s is legendary, and he was crucial in the 2019 World Cup win.

I’d say Mushfiqur Rahim from Bangladesh. He’s been a pillar for their team for years, scoring runs in all conditions and keeping wickets too. He’s the only wicketkeeper with three double centuries in Tests, but hardly gets any global recognition.

Damien Martyn is my pick. He played in a star-studded Australian side, so his contributions were often overshadowed. But if you look at his record, especially in tough situations, he was pure class. Made batting look easy and always stepped up when the team needed him.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul is hugely underrated. He scored nearly 12,000 Test runs for West Indies, often holding the team together single-handedly during their lean years. His unorthodox technique might not have been pretty, but it was incredibly effective. He deserves way more credit for his resilience and consistency.
