Shortest cricketers to play the game so far

Who are the shortest cricketers of all time over the years? It is a general feeling that only people who are tall and massively built can play cricket. But the game has seen legends who were short to disprove the theory. In fact, they were very short. This slideshow lists a 11-member team with the shortest players from different eras of cricket.

#11 Sunil Gavaskar

Height: 5 ft 5 in

Sunil Gavaskar - one of India’s batting legends. He has faced the greatest bowling attack of all time – the West Indian pace quartet - without helmet. His average of 65.45 against the Caribbeans just tells us how sound his batting technique is. He has scored more runs than anyone else against West Indies in a single series (774 runs).
