A look back at Sourav Ganguly's all-time Test XI

England v India: 2nd Investec Test - Day Five
Dada of Indian Cricket

#3 Rahul Dravid (India)

Indian cricket captain Rahul Dravid cele

Having debuted and played alongside Dravid for almost all his career, Dada knows him better than anybody else. Respectfully called as the 'Wall', Dravid is someone who would feature in every cricketer's All Time Test XI.

Rahul Dravid is one among the only five players to have crossed the 10,000 run mark in Tests and ODIs, being the fourth highest run scorer in the history of Test Cricket. He has been the most prized wicket for all oppositions and getting him out called for the wildest celebration. His wicket in Tests was worth more than Sachin's and that is the kind of Batsman Rahul Dravid was, in a nutshell.

#4 Sachin Tendulkar (India)

South Africa v India 1st Test - Day 4

The great Sachin Tendulkar, whose name has become synonymous with the game of cricket itself, is a must here. Dada has played a lot of cricket alongside the Little Master, and it was very much expected that he would pick the magician with the bat. Sachin itself is a statement that needs to introduction and having him in the side would be a great boon for the rest of the 10 players.

#5 Jacques Kallis (South Africa)

Mumbai Sports And Fitness

The former South African all-rounder has been picked by Dada at the very important position of number 5. Kallis is one of the greatest all-rounders to have ever played the game of cricket, who batted superbly, scoring several hundreds and fifties, and could bowl overs of genuine fast bowling too. He is the only cricketer in the world to score more than 10,000 runs and also take more than 250 wickets in Test and ODI Cricket, both. With a Test average of over 55 runs per innings and the phenomenal abilities to play reverse swing, as well as swing and reverse swing the ball himself, he is a no-brainer for the team.
