Though these players had bad eyesight, still they went on to achieve great things in their respective careers
1. Virender Sehwag (India)
With over 17,000 runs in international cricket, Sehwag is one of the finest batters to ever play in an Indian jersey. The hard-hitting batter started wearing spectacles in the latter stage of his career.
2. Daniel Vettori (New Zealand)
With a total of 696 wickets in international cricket, Vettori is the highest wicket-taking spinner from his country. Unlike Sehwag, Vettori wore spectacles since the beginning of his career.
3. Clive Lloyd (West Indies)
After sustaining an eye injury at the age of 12, Lloyd was forced to wear spectacles. However, poor eyesight didn’t stop him from smashing over 9,000 runs in international cricket and captaining West Indies to 2 ODI World Cup triumphs in 1975 and 1979 respectively.
4. Anil Kumble (India)
With a total of 956 international wickets in his career, Kumble is the highest wicket-taking Indian bowler. He was an amazing bowler especially in the Test format. Kumble only wore spectacles for a small part of his career.
5. Sir Geoffrey Boycott (England)
With over 9,000 international runs and over 48,000 first-class runs which includes 151 centuries, many believe that Sir Geoffrey Boycott is one of the finest batters to ever grace the game. Boycott only used to wear spectacles during the start of his career and later switched to contact lenses.
