Jason Holder picks his Best All-Time Test Playing XI, includes only one Indian

West Indies cricket team all-rounder Jason Holder, during a live conversation, has picked his all-time best Test Playing XI, but has only included 1 Indian player.

The Caribbean international who have also captained the West Indies cricket team, joined News Nine channel in an exclusive interview, where he listed out his best all-time Playing XI for Test cricket.

During the interview, Jason Holder said that Test cricket is his favourite format of cricket. West Indies use to dominate cricket in the earlier phases, and thus he has included most of the West Indies players.

But, the most surprising fact that shocked the fans, is that he only included 1 Indian player in his Playing XI. Let's take a look at Jason Holder's All-Time Best Test Playing XI.

Openers: Chris Gayle, Virender Sehwag

The two batsman who opens the inning for Jason Holder's team is West Indies great Chris Gayle and Indian batsman Virender Sehwag.

Gayle has played 103 Test matches, in which he has scored 7214 runs at an impressive average of 60. Virender Sehwag is India's one of the most decorated opener. He has played 104 Test matches and has scored 8586 runs, again, averaging at a massive rate of 82.2.
