WATCH: Shoaib Akhtar includes four Indians in his all-time ODI XI, ignores Virat Kohli

Akhtar named Shane Warne the captain of his all-time ODI XI.

Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar recently picked his all-time ODI XI, which features four Indian players but modern-day great Virat Kohli failed to make the cut.

In a video for Sportskeeda Cricket, Akhtar picked West Indies great Gordon Greenidge and Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar as his openers.

Tendulkar is the leading run-scorer in the ODI format whereas Greenidge was one of the most attacking openers of his generation.

For the No. 3 spot, Akhtar opted to go with Inzamam-ul-Haq while he surprisingly included Saeed Anwar to bat at No. 4. The southpaw used to open the innings for Pakistan and he has 8824 runs and 20 tons to his name in ODIs.

Slotted at No. 5, MS Dhoni is the designated wicketkeeper-batsman in Shoaib Akhtar’s XI, which also features former Australia glovesman Adam Gilchrist but purely as a batsman. Both Dhoni and Gilchrist had fine ODI careers and credited for revolutionizing the role of a wicketkeeper in white-ball cricket.

Akhtar selected India’s 2011 World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh to bat at No. 7 while Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Kapil Dev are the three fast bowlers in his team. He picked Shane Warne as the lone spinner in the line-up and also named him the captain of his all-time ODI XI.

Here’s the video:
