India will be playing 500th Test against New Zealand on September 22nd in Kanpur. Only three Nations (England, Australia, West Indies) have played more Tests than India so far. On this occasion, Cricket Australia has come up 'India's Greatest Test XI'.
India's Greatest Test XI by Cricket Australia: Sunil Gavaskar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni (wicket keeper), Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan.
Surprisingly, Cricket Australia hasn't named the Captain of 'India's Greatest Test XI' even though successful skippers like Kapil Dev, Ganguly and Dhoni were part of the squad. Another big shocker would be Virat Kohli missing out on the opportunity to be part this team of Legends. For the No.6 slot, Ganguly had an edge over Kohli for being the only and most successful left hander in the Team. Dhoni is the only cricketer who is still playing International cricket. Although Bhajji hasn't retired, He is restricted to just few matches in a calendar year.
