And when he speaks on the game, the world listens. Recently, the batter picked his all time India Test XI on Sports Tak podcast — Vikrant Unfiltered.
For openers, there wasn’t any kind of debate, and the veteran went ahead with Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag, while he excluded himself from the No. 3 spot. “The openers are a weird combination, both are very strong batters, but Calm and composed Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag, very aggressive. So, this can different way. Number 3. Rahul Dravid,” said Pujara. “He has been a better player. Without any doubt,” he added further.
The choice for no. 4 was obvious in Sachin Tendulkar, while the no. 5 batter was the genius of this generation, Virat Kohli. As for the wicket-keeper, Pujara left out Rishabh Pant. “MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant are close. Right now, it’s MS Dhoni because Rishabh Pant is progressing as a cricketer, and I hope that at the end of his career, I have to say that it can be Rishabh Pant,” added Pujara.
As or the bowling department — Pujara went ahead with Kapil Dev, Jasprit Bumrah, Anil Kumble and R Ashwin.
