Dinesh Karthik has selected India’s best ever playing eleven. There is no one format, he has chosen the team for three types of cricket. But there is no regular wicket-keeper in that team. He did not keep India’s most successful captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the team. Neither did he keep India’s first World Cup win to captain Kapil Dev.
Karthik’s selected team consists of five batsmen, two all-rounders, two spinners and two pacers. Karthik has kept Virender Sehwag and Rohin Sharma in the team as openers. Two aggressive batsmen. He has achieved success in Test and white ball cricket. Name number three is Rahul Dravidar. With no wicketkeeper in the team, India’s freshman coach will have to shoulder that responsibility. They are Captain Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.
Yuvraj Singh and Rabindra Jadeja are in the team as all-rounders. Both of them are very proficient in batting, bowling and fielding. Yuvraj played a big role in winning the World Cup in 2007 and 2011. The team’s two spinners are Rabindranath Ashwin and Anil Kumble. He has taken the most wickets for India in Test cricket. Pace bowling will be handled by the likes of Bumrah and Zaheer Khan. Harbhajan Singh is the twelfth man in the team.
Mixed reactions are being raised regarding Karthik’s selection of this team. The two spinners are accompanied by Yuvraj and Jadeja. They also bowl spin. Many people say that Kapil was placed at that place and there was more balance in the team. At the same time, questions are being raised about the absence of any specialist wicketkeeper in the team.
Karthik’s all-time playing XI:Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Anil Kumble, Jasprit Bumrah and Zaheer Khan. 12th man: Harbhajan Singh.
