Indian team when Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid made their Test debut - Where are they now?

Dravid and Ganguly made their debut in the 1996 series of England

#4 Sachin Tendulkar

When asked to describe Tendulkar, a plethora of superlatives immediately jump into mind - phenomenal, masterful, ageless and many more. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, probably one of the greatest ever to wield the bat, scored 31 in this particular match.

There could easily have been books written with just Sachin’s innumerable records, and he has gone to played longest in anyone in this lineup, retiring in 2013 with a possibly insurmountable 100 international centuries.

He is the youngest and only sportsperson to be awarded the Bharath Ratna, shortly after his last match; his 200th. We could go on and on about the ‘God of Cricket’, but that wouldn’t fair to the rest of the gentlemen in this list.
