Yuvraj Singh revealed his all-time XI and in a surprise choice, snubbed his former teammate and India captain MS Dhoni.
Yuvraj Singh was talking with the broadcasters after leading India Champions to victory over Pakistan Champions in the final of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) final in Birmingham on Saturday.
Yuvraj, who remains one of the most accomplished cricketers in history, made some logical choices when naming his XI. Indian batters include Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma.
He started with Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting as openers, followed by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. Yuvraj chose AB de Villiers at No. 5, with Adam Gilchrist as the specialist wicketkeeper at No. 6.
One of the significant names missing from Yuvraj's XI was former India captain MS Dhoni, the country's most successful captain, who guided the side to three ICC titles.
Yuvraj chose Australian spin-bowling legend Shane Warne at number seven, while Muttiah Muralitharan was ranked eighth. In the pace department, Glenn McGrath and Wasim Akram occupied the No. 9 and No. 10 spots. Andrew Flintoff was the last name chosen by Yuvraj Singh.
When asked to name a special No. 12 player, Yuvraj picked himself in the spot.
The team appears to be strong, but few believe MS Dhoni, the greatest captain and one of the world's top finishers, should have been selected. MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh played a lot of cricket together, but they maintained a professional connection.
