Sourav Ganguly Excludes Virat Kohli From His All-Time Best Playing XI




















Sourav Ganguly: Virat Kohli, a former captain of India, is frequently referred to as the game’s current legend. He has achieved a great deal in his illustrious career since making his debut in 2008, and he has since emerged as the face of Indian cricket.

He serves as a source of motivation for many young people who aspire to succeed in life. Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar are ahead of him on the list (71). Despite his present struggles, Virat Kohli is one of the best cricket players to have ever played.

That is according to Virat Kohli’s records. However, when BCCI President and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly recently selected his all-time playing 11, his name was omitted.

In any case, a 2016 video posted by the official YouTube account of the Lord’s Cricket Ground has resurfaced and is currently trending on social media. Sourav Ganguly was asked to select his all-time playing eleven in the video.

He did not mention Virat Kohli, who was India’s Test captain at the time and had already cemented his reputation as one of the greatest batsmen in history by the end of 2016. Sourav Ganguly chose Matthew Hayden of Australia and Alastair Cook of England as his opening pair.

After them, Ganguly chose Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, two great Indian batsmen. Dada chose South African star Jacques Kallis for the all-rounder position, and Sri Lanka’s outstanding stumper and batsman, Kumar Sangakkara, was chosen for the wicket-keeper batsman post.

Sourav Ganguly: Here The Best Playing XI Of All Time According To Him

Ricky Ponting was surprisingly ranked seventh by Ganguly. Despite the fact that he was noted as not being chosen by the batting order. Ponting was also picked as Ganguly’s team’s captain. He chose illustrious bowlers Glenn McGrath, Dale Steyn, Shane Warne, and Muttiah Muralitharan to round out his playing xi.

Sourav Ganguly’s all-time XI: Alastair Cook, Matthew Hayden, Rahul Dravid, Ricky Ponting (C), Sachin Tendulkar. Kumar Sangakkara, Jacques Kallis, Glenn McGrath, Dale Steyn, Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan.

Sourav Ganguly: Where As He Praises Him On His 71st Century

Ganguly, the head of the BCCI and a former Indian captain. He has praised Virat Kohli and even claimed that the latter is far more skilled than him. The 33-year-old just ended an almost three-year international century drought against Afghanistan during the Asia Cup 2022 match.

He scored his first T20I century with an undefeated 122 off 61 balls. And he couldn’t have gotten back to form any better. Ganguly said that comparison would only be fair because Kohli is more skilled than he is.

He remarked that he and Kohli had played many international matches over the course of several generations and anticipated that Kohli would handily surpass his total by the time his career came to a conclusion.
