I have been following cricket very closely for 4 decades now. Read a lot, wathced a lot and heard a lot of cricket. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to put together an India Cricket Test XI taking cricketers from all seasons and all eras.
My XI is
1. Sunil Gavaskar
2. V Sehwag
3. Rahul Dravid
4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Vijay Hazare
6. V Mankad
7. M.S Dhoni
8. Kapil Dev
9. Zaheer Khan
10. E A S Prassanna
11. J Srinath
There could be discussions on certain positions in the team. I opted for Vijay Hazare over Vishvanath for instance on the basis of Hazare's good performances overseas. Vishvanath is a very good batsman but most of his spectacular cricket was played in India. The other debate is the wicket keepers spot. Dhoni is steadily improving as a Keeper and has proved to be a very productive batsman. His records speak for itself.
Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome.
