India’s ATG 11 Who makes it number 5 position?

[DrWolverine]

The top four are locked :

1. Gavaskar
2. Sehwag
3. Dravid
4. Tendulkar

Would you choose Kohli who played at number 4 throughout his career or would you pick others?

Record at number 5 position :

Azhar : 4346 runs at 48.83
Laxman : 2877 runs at 47.16
Virat : 1084 runs at 37.37
Sachin : 1552 runs at 59.69
Pant : 1074 runs at 67

Record at number 5 and 6 position :
Laxman : 5637 runs at 48.59
Azhar : 5340 runs at 45.25
Sachin : 2297 runs at 53.41
Kohli : 1488 runs at 39.15
Pant : 1953 runs at 50

Record at number 6
Laxman : 2760 runs at 50

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Hazare should also be considered.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Kohli at 5 has his place locked still. Pant at 6 is a lock too almost now

What if Pant's keeping continues to look like it does now?

 

[subshakerz]

Kohli. Pant at 6. Then the ARs.

 

[sayon basak]

Gavaskar
Sehwag
Dravid
Tendulkar
Kohli
Pant (WK)
Kapil
Jadeja
Ashwin
Kumble
Bumrah

Looks like a very solid team.

 

[Daemon]

Kohli still comfortably ahead of the other options.

Laxman was awesome but he didn’t ever dominate test cricket like Kohli did for a while. He also batted in an easier era behind an ATG top order.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

What if Pant's keeping continues to look like it does now?

His batting is too good, and his keeping has improved a lot

 

[subshakerz]

Gavaskar
Sehwag
Dravid
Tendulkar
Kohli
Pant (WK)
Kapil
Jadeja
Ashwin
Kumble
Bumrah

Looks like a very solid team.

Why do you need three spinners?

Why do you need three spinners?

Cause there aren't enough indian pacers to feature (Shami is a decent shout tho). And really think all of the spinners deserve to be here.

That's surrendering games in SENA. Bring in Shami or Zaheer

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Really hope Kuldeep can make this team by the end of his career. A bowling attack of Bumrah, Shami, Kapil, Kuldeep, Ashwin looks pretty good.

You forgot the God, the GOAT;
Sir Ravindrasinh Anirudhsinh Jadeja.

Ok. Shami in for Kumble in SENA.
3 spinners in SC is ok.

An ATG country XI should be more about greatness and legacy than purely team balance.

True, as this is a hypothetical team that's gonna play exactly 0 tests in any condition.

That would also justify playing Andrade in CB.

 

[kyear2]

His batting is too good, and his keeping has improved a lot

As evidenced by the last series?

Easily this.

So the goal isn't to select a team that would compete?

Because my selections would be considerably different if the criteria were greatness and legacy.

Given the whole competition is imaginary, yes mostly. It's mixture of both.
