No matter how much cricket has evolved but test cricket has always been the best form of the game. Test cricket, as they say, is the real test of a player’s character. A test debut will always be special for a youngster no matter how much he has played already in the colored jerseys.
So, we bring you the All-Time Right Handers Test XI. The skipper of this team will be the great former Aussie skipper Ricky Ponting.
Openers
Sunil Gavaskar
Rahul Dravid (Wk)
Now, this might seem a little strange but they have opened for India at different times. Also if you have to accommodate these two and the middle order that follows, you got to have these two as openers. Also, Rahul Dravid has been a wicketkeeper before so we kept him as the keeper for this team too.
Middle Order
Ricky Ponting (Captain)
Virat Kohli (Vice Captain)
Brain Lara
Steve Smith
You could not ask for a better middle order in test cricket. There are so much experience and talent in this middle order. While Ricky Ponting and Brain Lara are the contemporary greats, Virat Kohli and Steve Smith are the modern day greats of cricket. Can you ask for a better middle order?
All Rounders
Jacques Kallis
Kapil Dev
These are two greatest all-rounders of all times. They are accomplished batsmen and effective bowlers. They are champions who can turn a game on its head single-handedly. Now the middle order gets even more enriched with these two being in the eleven and they would add great arsenal in the bowling attack that follows.
Bowler
Muralitharan
Glenn McGrath
Dale Steyn
Perfect bowling combination one can ask for. This bowling combination gets even more effective with Kapil Dev and Kallis joining these world class bowlers.
How would you rate this squad?
