Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton left cricket fans surprised by leaving out Virat Kohli and Joe Root from their combined India-England Test XI of the 21st century, despite the duo's stellar records. The selection spotlights players with exceptional bilateral performances and impact.
Harry Brook has overtaken Joe Root to become the No. 1 Test batter in the world after a phenomenal run against New Zealand. Brook’s rating equals Sachin Tendulkar’s best, highlighting his meteoric rise. Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja retained their spots as leading bowler and all-rounder.
