No introduction is needed for either of these stalwarts! A powerful combination, with tons of runs between them, and the pair with the most runs scored together in tests (6920 - courtesy espncricinfo.com).

Both these players were "all-rounders" in their own way, with Tendulkar chipping in with key wickets using his medium pace/leg breaks, and Dravid keeping wickets to help the team accommodate an extra batsman/bowler! Both were safe fielders too, forming a part of India's slip cordon for a long time!

A classy and "wristy" batsman, and the best ever exponent of the "drive", Viswanath and Vengsarkar would slot into the middle order with aplomb!

If ever a bowling unit got through the top 4 of this team, they'd cry their hearts out to see Vishy and the Colonel walking in.
