Anil Kumble is arguably the best bowler India has ever produced. He has a total of 619 test wickets and 337 wickets in ODIs making him India's highest ever wicket taker. He is also the only bowler to pick up all 10 wickets of the batting team in one innings.
Dhoni should be in top 5. He is one of the most feared finishers in ODIs today. It should also be noted that he has captained his team to to the top positions in all possible formats of the game - ICC World Cup 2011, ICC T20 Cup 2007, IPL [twice] and tests. This man ought to be in the Top 5 simply because he is India's and the world's best finisher. Most of the batsmen above him aren't finishers and that is what makes this man so wonderful.
