Reportedly former indian cricket team opener gautam gambhir, who is now a Member of parliament, is known for his bold moves and statements. Be it cricket, politics or any social issues, he has proven enough that he never treads the beaten path. In tune with this ‘hatke’ reputation, the former indian international picked his all-time india Test XI and as only Gambhir can do it, he pulled off many surprises.

 

In what could make a few greats of the game wriggle in their seats with unease, Gambhir chose anil Kumble as the captain of his all-time great indian Test team. And this selection comes ahead of Saurav Ganguly, ms dhoni and Virat Kohli. For the former opener from delhi, anil Kumble is the “best that he has ever played under”. Worse still, there is no place at all for Ganguly in Gambhir’s team and this certainly is going to be like adding insult to injury for all the ‘Dada’ fans.

 

For the openers’ slots, gautam selects the unlikely combination of swashbuckler virender sehwag and the legendary ‘little master’ sunil gavaskar and fills the next top order position with ‘the wall of indian cricket’ rahul Dravid. His middle order appears to be the strongest with the presence of ‘God of cricket’ sachin tendulkar at no.4 and modern cricket’s greatest name and current indian captain virat kohli to follow at no.5. Then comes another legend of indian cricket kapil dev as the only all-rounder in the team at 6, followed by India’s most successful captain ‘Mr Cool’ mahindra Singh dhoni but merely as a wicketkeeper.
