Cheteshwar Pujara selects an all-time India Test XI in which he does not include MS Dhoni or Ajinkya Rahane, according to NDTV’s report. The piece focuses on Pujara’s personal choice of teammates from India’s Test history.
The article notes that Pujara played Tests for India from 2010 to 2023. In that period, his Test career begins under MS Dhoni’s captaincy, and the report adds that when Pujara plays his final Test, Rohit Sharma is the skipper. By highlighting these leadership changes, the outlet provides context for Pujara’s era while emphasizing that his XI is based on his “greatest teammates” selection.
While NDTV frames the XI as a subjective list, the details shared are limited to Pujara’s omissions and the timeline of his own Test tenure. Other specific players in the XI, and the reasoning behind each inclusion, are not provided in the supplied text.
