#6 Jacques Kallis
They don’t call somebody ‘Lord’ for reasons unknown in cricket except if and until it’s Jacques Kallis. Kallis is broadly viewed as one of the best all-rounders ever to have played the game. Kallis like Dravid needed to sharpen his abilities since batting didn’t come simply for him not at all like Tendulkar, Lara, and so on. He began as a bowler who bowled at serious 140 kmph and turned into an overwhelming allrounder before a century ago’s over. An enemy for the opposition teams who dreaded and regarded him.
Kallis might not have had the energy of a Tendulkar or Lara yet was as much as viable as they were. His capacity to granulate out the resistance bowling assault at an early stage in his innings and later gaining by that demonstrated solid for his team. He played 166 test matches in which he scored one run more than his great mate Dravid. He scored 13289 runs at a splendid average of 55.39 which included 45 centuries and 58 half-centuries. He got a bewildering number of 292 wickets alongside such a bumpy measure of runs.
RECORD: Matches:166 Innings:280 Runs:13289 Avg:55.37 100’s:45 50’s:58 S/R:45.98
#7 Adam Gilchrist ( Wicket-keeper)
Adam Gilchrist will perpetually be recognized as the man who reclassified the place of Wicket-keeping batsmen in the group. His blend of pizazz and hostility is as yet unequaled. Gilchrist was one of the most significant columns in that brilliant age of Australian cricket. Adam’s capacity to score runs rapidly at the rear of the innings made him an effective cricketer he was. He played a sum of 96 test matches in which he scored 5570 runs at an average of 47.61, for a wicket-keeping batsman that is hypnotizing. He scored 17 centuries and 26 half-centuries in his career.
He kept up a strike-rate of 81.96 all through his career. What’s more, he was just adept that he turned into the only player to hit 100 sixes in test matches. Gilchrist’s era changed the manner in which the game sought after wicketkeepers and that is the reason Mark Boucher lingered behind him. Gilly, as he was affectionately known among his fans, was engaged with 414 dismissals in his whole career. 377 of them were catches and 37 being stumpings.
RECORD: Matches:96 Innings:137 Runs:5570 Avg:47.61 100’s:17 50’s:26 S/R:81.98
#8 Muttiah Muralitharan
No matter how many times If I have to pick between Murali and Warne. I will choose Murali without any doubt. Muttiah Muralitharan is one of the best bowlers in the Test cricket, averaging more than six wickets for every Test match. He made his debut on August 28, 1990, at 20 years old, against Australia and has since proceeded to break records in Test cricket. In 2017, he turned into the main Sri Lankan player to be incorporated into the ICC Hall of Fame. When he had retired, he had held the No 1 spot in ICC’s player rankings for Test bowlers for a challenging 1,711 days. The spin wizard has been a one-man bowling assault for Sri Lanka and the records he’s gathered at the same time are probably not going to be broken in the cutting edge period of cricket.
The off-spinner has a record 800 Test wickets from only 166 Tests during a profession that crossed 18 years from 1992-2010. Craig McDermott was his first Test wicket and Pragyan Ojha his last. Shane Warne and Anil Kumble tail him in the best three with 708 and 619 wickets, respectively. Starting at now, he despite everything remains the fastest bowler to arrive at 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, and 700 Test wickets. It is impossible that Murali’s record will be broken thinking about he was dynamic for right around two decades years, a troublesome errand in present-day cricket.
RECORD: Matches:133, Wickets:800, Avg:22.73, 5W:67, 10W:22
#9 Wasim Akram
No world XI will complete without this legend. Brian Lara once quoted, “He constantly caused me to feel inept,” and he was alluding to was, as a matter of fact, Wasim Akram. You should see how huge a commendation it is thinking about the way that Lara is viewed as one of the best batsmen ever. Wasim Akram is generally viewed as the best left-arm fast bowler ever. The Pakistani conceived cricketer was viewed as the most capable bowler of his time.
Akram became a commonly recognized name after his one mystical over in the evening of the 1992 CWC final. He was proclaimed man of the counterpart for his exhibition which helped Pakistan list their first-ever World Cup trophy. Wasim bloomed under the administration of Imran Khan and Javed Miandad. Akram himself went on to turn into an extraordinary captain later on. In his mystical career, he stepped through 414 wickets from 104 games at a stunning average and strike-rate of 23.62 and 54.72 respectively. He picked 5 wickets in an innings multiple times and 10 wickets in a Test matches multiple times.
RECORD: Matches:104,Wickets:414, Avg:23.62, 5W:25, 10W:5
#10 Dale Steyn
He might be the youngest one in this team yet Dale Steyn is no less in aptitudes than anybody with regards to quick bowling. A man of whom Michael Holding is an aficionado of is unquestionably the best of his age. The Protea is viewed as the best among his age of fast bowlers which incorporates a few greats like Jimmy Anderson, Mitchell Johnson, Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee, and so on. With predator’s eyes and pace out of control, he has threatened each batsman he has ever bowled to. Viewing Steyn’s perfect bowling action is proportionate to sheer poetry in motion.
In his whole career that is as yet going solid, Steyn has gotten 439 wickets at an extraordinary average and strike-rate of 22.66 and 41.95 respectively. He most likely has the best bowling strike-rate for a quick bowler more than 400 test wickets. Steyn has 5 ten-wicket hauls and 25 five-wicket hauls. His capacity to take wickets in the subcontinent conditions needs to prompt boundless gratefulness from days of old legends.
RECORD: Matches:93, Wickets:439, Avg:22.95, 5W:26, 10W:5
#11 Joel Garner
Wish in the cricket that he had played minimal longer, at that point stats would be really terrifying. He merits the spot in this Invincible test XI. Because of his gigantic stature and very much fabricated build, Garner could bowl astounding bouncers and toe-pulverizing yorkers freely, while creating serious bounce from a length. A piece of the imposing pace group of the West Indies during the 1970s and 80s, the amazing Joel Garner sent shudders down the spine of numerous incredible batsmen of his time. In the 58 matches that he played for his nation, the amazing West Indian pacer took 259 wickets at an inconceivable average of 20.97. He will be best associated with the overwhelming spell of 6/56 that he took against New Zealand at Eden Park in 1980.
RECORD: Matches:58, Wickets:259, Avg:20.98, 5W:7, 10W:0
