As India is under a 21-day lockdown due to this Coronavirus outbreak, all the cricketers and commentators are enjoying this break with their families, with all cricket on hold.

Some of them have been quite active on social media platforms and entertaining their fans with either Q&A sessions of Twitter or chatting Instagram live. Former India cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra took to Facebook and uploaded a video of him picking combined India-Pakistan of all time.

“I wanted to do a fun exercise today by selecting the combined all-time Test XI of Pakistan and India, although it was a very difficult task. One thing that we will all agree, before moving on, that the team will give more preference to Indian batsmen and Pakistan bowlers,” Chopra said in the video.

The former India opener selected Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag as openers with Rahul Dravid at 3 and Sachin Tendulkar at No.4.

“There is no doubt that Sunil Gavaskar will be one of the openers as his presence is absolutely mandatory. I would partner him with Virender Sehwag because he scored two triple centuries in Test cricket which is quite an achievement. At the third and fourth position, I would include Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar,” he said.

The 42-year-old picked MS Dhoni as the wicket-keeper of the side after which he chose two ODI World Cup-winning captains Kapil Dev and Imran Khan.

“For the wicketkeeper spot, I will pick MS Dhoni and Inzamam-ul-Haq and Javed Miandad at fifth and sixth position. At number eight and nine, I will pick Kapil Dev and Imran Khan. Imran will also be the captain of my side,” he added.

Here’s Aakash Chopra’s combined India-Pakistan XI:
