The best Indian cricket team ever!

The Indian media has been splashing stories about SMG (Sunil Manohar Gavaskar) since the last few days as he was approaching another milestone in his life (read: His sixtieth birthday).

As I was reading and viewing different Indian cricketers offering their tributes to this living legend, the thought of selecting the greatest ever Indian cricket team came to my mind. This team would comprise of Indian players right from the time we started playing cricket till the present.

So here is my list:

1) Sunil Gavaskar
2) Virender Sehwag
3) Rahul Dravid
4) Sachin Tendulkar
5) Kumar Shri Ranjeetsinghji (The Ranji trophy is named after him)
6) V.V.S. Laxman
7) MS Dhoni
8) Kapil Dev
9) Erapalli Prasanna
10) Javagal Srinath
11) B.S. Chandrashekhar
