In a fun yet fascinating experiment, Satay Nadella of Microsoft use AI to create the “All-Time Best Indian Test Cricket Team” using decision frameworks and debate-style reasoning. The system compared eras, statistics, crises handled, and expert-like logic to select a final XI. It identified total consensus picks—Gavaskar, Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Kohli, Kapil Dev, Ashwin, and Bumrah. The toughest debates arose over VVS Laxman’s clutch performances, Kumble versus Zaheer Khan, and the captaincy choice between Kohli and Dhoni. Ultimately, Laxman scored high on crisis management, Kumble’s 619 wickets sealed his spot, and Kohli was named captain. The experiment showcases how AI can synthesize arguments, weigh history, and spark cricket debates like never before.
