New Delhi: Indian cricket team coach Gautam Gambhir has announced his all-time world XI. Gambhir has included those legendary players in his all-time world XI against whom he has played cricket. Gambhir’s all-time world-11 includes 3 Pakistani players and an Englishman who had a verbal spat with Yuvraj Singh has also got a chance. This is the same Englishman who once took off his T-shirt after winning against the Indian team. In response to that, he took off his T-shirt and waved it at Lord’s after winning the 2002 Natwest Trophy under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly. Apart from this, that player had clashed with Yuvraj Singh in the 2007 T20 World Cup, after which Yuvi took out his anger by hitting Stuart Broad with 6 consecutive sixes.
Yes, we are talking about Andrew Flintoff. Team India’s head coach has announced his all-time world-11 on Sportskeeda. Gambhir has included three Pakistani players in his special team. Gambhir has included Inzamam-ul-Haq, Abdul Razzaq and Shoaib Akhtar. Gambhir has included the most Australian players in his world eleven. Gambhir has included Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden as opening batsmen.
Apart from this, Gambhir has chosen the legendary AB de Villiers at number 3. Gambhir has placed the great batsman Brian Lara at number 4 in this special team. Apart from this, he has placed Andrew Symonds at number 5 and Inzamam-ul-Haq at number 6, while as an all-rounder, Gambhir has considered Pakistan’s Abdul Razzaq as the best.
Gambhir’s choice as spinner is Muralitharan. However, the surprising thing here is that Shane Warne has not been given a place. Warne has been one of the best leg spinners in the world. Warne was successful in taking 708 wickets in Tests and 293 wickets in ODIs. Shane Warne is considered the best leg spinner in the world. Shoaib Akhtar and Morne Morkel have been given a place in his team as fast bowlers. As an all-rounder, Andrew Flintoff has also been successful in making a place in Gambhir’s special team. However, explosive all-rounder Shahid Afridi, who often clashes with Gambhir on and off the field, has also not been able to make his place.
