From sharing a dressing room to being part of the World Cup winning team in 2011, Virat Kohli and Gautama Gambhir Both are originally from Delhi and are known to be brash and extremely passionate, so seeing them open with a “calmer” XI is strange. But then again, former India cricketer Sreesanth surprised us with his choice of the “calmer” XI. He backed Kohli and Gambhir to open with former Australian captain Ricky Ponting at No. 3. Sreesanth then picked Surav Ganguly for the number 4 spot and also backed him to lead the team with Ponting as his deputy.
