MS Dhoni: There have been many cricketers in India in every era and in such a situation, it is difficult for the great legends of the world to call any one great. Apart from this, if India's all-time playing eleven has to be selected then it is also very difficult.

Now in this series, the legends have together chosen India's best Test playing eleven of the 21st century and many legends have not got a place in this eleven. The surprising thing is that former Indian captain MS Dhoni and former spinner Harbhajan Singh have not got a place in it.

MS Dhoni and Harbhajan did not get place

Actually, MS Dhoni is counted among the best captains not only in India but in the world, but leave alone Dhoni as captain in this team, he has not even been able to make his place in the team. Apart from him, Harbhajan Singh has also failed to make his place in it.

Harbhajan Singh has taken 417 wickets in 103 test matches and even after this he has not been able to make a place in India's test playing eleven.
