Team India: The Indian cricket team has been invincible at home for the last many years and no team has been able to challenge it and that is why Team India has won 18 consecutive Test series at home.
It has not been easy for any team to defeat Team India at its home and this list includes many teams from all over the world, including strong teams like Australia and England and they too have not been able to challenge India. In such a situation, now only World XI can defeat India at home.
Actually, the team we are talking about here is World XI and if a team is formed by combining all the teams, then only that team can challenge India. In such a situation, many veterans can be included in this team. The first name that can be included in this is that of England's legendary batsman Joe Root.
Apart from Root, Australia's Steve Smith will also be a part of this team. So, South Africa's Aiden Markram will be included as the opening batsman, while England's Ben Duckett will also be a part of it as his partner.
If we talk about this World XI, then the name of New Zealand's legendary batsman Kane Williamson will definitely be included in it. Williamson has been consistently performing well in Test matches and has scored a lot of runs in India as well.
Apart from this, the name of England's star all-rounder Ben Stokes is also included in this and he is going to be seen in this team. Not only this, Stokes will be seen captaining this team.
Two spinners have also got a chance in this team, who can make an impact with their bowling on Indian soil. Spin becomes very important while playing in India and that is why Nathan Lyon and Shakib Al Hasan have got a place in the team as 2 spinners.
Kane Williamson, Marnus Labuschagne, Joe Root, Steve Smith, Ben Stokes, Dinesh Chandimal (wicketkeeper), Shakib Al Hasan, Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Kagiso Rabada.
