Uthappa's team includes Virender Sehwag, KL Rahul, Rahul Dravid, Tendulkar, Kohli, MS Dhoni, Kapil Dev, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Zaheer Khan and Anil Kumble. Both Tendulkar and Kohli have retired from Tests, Tendulkar in 2013 and Kohli last year.

The endless Tendulkar vs Kohli debate is lazy. Indian fans should instead appreciate that Uthappa found room for both legends in his XI, with Kohli at No. 5 and Tendulkar at No. 4. The real question is whether any current player can force their way into such company, watch how Shubman Gill shapes up in the next away series.
