Chopra had to rank every player as their name appeared without knowing which cricketer would come next in the blind ranking. Even so, his rankings have already become a hot topic online.
Tendulkar is the all-time leading run-scorer in ODI cricket after finishing his career with 18426 runs in 452 ODI innings with the help of 49 centuries and 96 fifties. The Mast Blaster’s highest score was an unbeaten 200 in the format. Many massive records still belong to Tendulkar.
Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir to form middle order
Legendary captain and batter Sourav Ganguly was ranked third for his iconic partnership with Sachin, while Virender Sehwag took the fourth spot for changing ODI batting with his fearless approach. Gautam Gambhir was placed fifth, followed by Shikhar Dhawan at No. 6.

Interestingly, Chopra admitted that the blind ranking worked against Dhawan. He felt the former Indian left-handed batter deserved to be ranked at No. 4 or No. 5, but those positions had already been filled before Dhawan's name appeared, leaving him with no choice but to place him sixth.
On the other hand, Sidhu has now become one of the most loved commentators and has also tried his hand in politics. He amassed over 4400 runs in the 50-over format for India.
