Sehwag was a butcher. He could demoralize even the best of bowlers when he got going and reduce them into club level bowlers. The most entertaining indian batsman of this century inspite of this t20 era. I would have Rohit in place of Gambhir because of more impactful innings and dominance against good bowlers at crease. He is so easy on eyes and so watchable. He is one of the best dominators of pace bowling. Laxman was magical at the crease whether it was his wristy strokes on the leg side or the touch strokes on the off side. When in trouble Laxman would always rescue. I feel he is an under achiever for the amount of talent he had. He could have been among the greatest test batters. Dravid was simply the best Indian test batsman of this century. His consistency, technique, grit and determination in the face of adversity are legendary. His overseas performances especially in SENA countries were phenomenal. No question of leaving out Sachin as he is the best batsman india ever produced. His technique, strokeplay, ease of handling any bowler, ability to dominate, sheer number of runs scored, longetevity are unmatched. He was consistent both at home and away and in all conditions. The ease with which he played Murali and Warne at their peak, Ambrose, Wasim Akram, Waqar, Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee, McGrath, Donald, Pollock, Steyn etc was breathtaking. Kohli hasn't faced even half as good bowlers in his era although wickets have been more difficult to bat on in tests. Kohli has struggled in overseas conditions and also against quality spin especially after 2019. So no Kohli in my team. Pant is a good keeper after his initial struggle and the best test wicket keeper batsman India has ever produced. He has already played some great innings overseas to give india some fantastic wins. Dhoni is no match for Pant in tests in overseas conditions. Jadeja has been great on indian pitches but overseas he has been as bad as Ashwin. But Ashwin is a much more skilled bowler and good batsman. So Ashwin at 7. Kumble at 8. Bumrah at 9 Shami at 10 Srinath at 11
