Sourav Ganguly named as skipper in Shane Warne's greatest Indian Test XI
He has selected former Indian players like Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Kapil Dev and Anil Kumble in his side.
MS Dhoni, who is the skipper of the limited overs Indian side, has been named in the squad.
"This was the hardest team to select as I played against a few legends at the end of their careers like Vengsarkar, Sanjay Manjreker, Ravi Shastri, Manoj Prabhakar as well as current players like Zaheer Khan too. The Indian side I've selected is a very strong one & would be tough to play against," Warne wrote on his Facebook page.
"The hardest position to select for me was the number 6 spot between my great friend VVS or Azzha, depending on the conditions who would actually play at number 6 & what country the game was played in, hence I named 12 & would choose the 12th man on the day," he said.
Shane Warne’s greatest India Test XI: Virender Sehwag, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly (c), Mohammad Azharuddin, Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Javagal Srinath, VVS Laxman (12th).
