The prince of Bengal was fortunate to have Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, and Anil Kumble alongside him during his captaincy tenure who all played a vital role in India’s emergence since 2000. Sourav Ganguly in his latest show was put into spot of bother by Mayank Agarwal when he asked Dada to pick 5 current players in his test team.
The current Indian captain Virat Kohli is one player who would have thrived in any era. He has the ability and intensity to become a successful player against any bowling attack. On the other hand, the 4 times IPL winning captain Rohit Sharma has made a resurgence in test cricket as an opener although the elegant batsman is yet to make it big in whites, he has all the talent in the world to become a successful test cricketer as well.
When Mayank Agarwal asked to pick 5 current test players to his team, Ganguly said,
From current team, I would love to have Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, I won’t pick you (Mayank) as I had Sehwag at the other end, I would go for Bumrah. I would also go for Mohammad Shami after Javgal Srinath retired, Ashwin as my 3rd spinner after Harbhajan and Kumble. Would be tempted to have Ravindra Jadeja as well.
