His drawing power was so colossal that signs outside cricket grounds often proclaimed: “ADMISSION 3d. IF DOCTOR GRACE PLAYS, 6d.”

Garner for his batting.

Going by absolute numbers without weighting for era or relative populations, a list of the greatest crowd pullers is basically just a list of the most popular Indian cricketers. Tendulkar obviously at the top.
