The big 3 in Tennis - Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are hallowed guys. With Rafa retiring this week, we bring you AB’s hot take on who are their BGT parallels. This is our tribute to Nadal and I am pretty sure he will tip his hat to AB’s pick.

With the much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy around the corner, we dive into one of cricket’s most intriguing debates: what would a combined India-Australia Test XI look like from the current squads? But here’s the twist—it’s a draft!

• Hosts AB and SS go head-to-head, selecting players turn by turn from both squads, battling it out to create the ultimate powerhouse team.
• Strategic picks, surprise selections, and some inevitable heartbreaks as top players go off the board.
• Who wins the bragging rights for the better XI? Tune in to find out!

We’d love to hear your take! Who would make your combined XI? Did we miss out on any key players? Drop us an email at thereversesweepshow@gmail.com or share your thoughts on our Instagram: @the_reverse_sweep_show
