I would bring in Kapil for Colly. Better in all aspects. Also, May be Kohli in for Kaif, a great fielder and absolutely fantastic bat.

Also, Get in Azhar somehow. Gus Logie, Hooper would be in the 13/14/15 or whatever you are selecting.

Warne has come up with his greatest Indian XI.

Here is it - Virender Sehwag, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammed Azharuddin, Sourav Ganguly ©, Kapil Dev, Harbhajan Singh, Nayan Mongia, Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath.

Navjot “Sixer Singh” Sidhu makes the cut as Warne says he and his contemporary spinners consider Sidhu to be the best player of spin.

He picked Ganguly because He wanted him to be the captain of the side, that is why VVS Laxman missed out.

He only picked players he played against. Hence no Sunny, Mankad, Kohli, Dhoni etc etc.
