A few points I would like to comment on; Tendulkar played in 2005 BGT from midway through, as he was called after a batting collapse, when he was noway near fit enough. Sehwag was great, but both Laxman and Dravid were poor. Now, on the bowling, it's just thrash, like complete utter thrash. Kumble was great, but no one else. Zaheer was before his peak and he had a horrible home record, Harbhajan was poor as always and Irfan has a career average of ****ing 45 vs non minnows. Also, this team had a much better top order, but the tail is relatively mild. Pant - Jadeja - Ashwin are a significant push. Like for batting only, in that series Sehwag was great, Sachin was injured, Laxman and Dravid flopped and Ganguly was in decline. On paper better batting, but hardly much better. Circa 2018-19 Kohli, Pujara and Rahane are around to Dravid, Laxman and Ganguly back then; while Sehwag was superior to Rohit, I can't say that about his partner and Agarwal/Rahul. Overall the openers are equal. Now down the order, Pant is a huge upgrade on Yuvraj, Jadeja plenty big on Patel and Ashwin equal to Pathan. So yeah, much worse bowling and hardly better batting.
