 I am inclined to rank the following as
 best 5. The names are  arranged in descending rating.

  1) Homi kaikobad
  2) M.C. Gupta
  3) Sameera Razdan
  4) Harshal Chhaya
  5) Fifth position is shared by many and I have to ask the third umpire for
    video replay, viz. Rawat, Taher, Ragini, Ravi and Akshay.

It is likely that I have missed out inclusion of some very important names,
 but then it is not because I do not value their English any less, but
because the selection is becoming really an uphill task.

 What is your feedback ????

Dear Rohit,

Aryaji's vocabulary includes a lot of neologisms, rustic zabaans and slang,
and also swear words.
In the final analysis, if you include all those, then you need to know that
many others who also know such words may be feeling shy/ embarrassed or
inhibited to use them on a public forum.
And, one also has to account for the 200,000 Polish words Anna knows, but
cannot share with us ( except as footnotes!:-))
