Kerala pacer S Sreesanth picked his India T20I XI and decided to include himself in it. He has played 10 T20Is for India and was instrumental in India's 2007 T20 World Cup win.

Sreesanth, in a chat with WION, talked about the best XI players India can put together to form a dominant team in T20I. He also lauded Suresh Raina for being a consistent contributor but not getting enough credits.

The 37-year-old picked Rohit Sharma as captain with Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni also in the team. “I firmly believe in one team for all formats. Suresh Raina is someone who deserves a lot more appreciation. And with all due respect to Virat, Rohit will captain in T20s and Kohli can take the captain’s band in all other formats,” said Sreesanth.

The opening pair has Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan, with Kohli at three and Raina four. The in-form KL Rahul is slotted at number five and he will have the back-up of Dhoni.

Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are two all-rounders in the side. The bowling attack also includes spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah.
