Pakistan cricket team’s star batsman Babar Azam constantly remains in the headlines. Generally, the reason behind this is their performance on the field, whether they do something amazing or keep failing continuously. He was also in the news due to the ups and downs of captaincy. These days, he remains in the news for not scoring a century in 83 consecutive innings. Amidst all this, a video of Babar is also in the news, in which he has made the world’s best T20 playing 11 by selecting the players of his choice and has included 2 stars of Team India in it, but these players are neither Virat Kohli nor Jasprit Bumrah.
These 2 Indians are in Babar’s team
Former Pakistan T20 captain Babar Azam, during a recent interview, named those 11 players who, according to him, can be a part of the world’s best T20 team. The star batsman also selected 2 batsmen from Team India in this World 11, in which the first name is of T20 World Cup winning captain Rohit Sharma. Babar made Rohit the opener in his team also. Apart from Rohit, he also gave place to the current Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, who was kept in the middle order.
However, he kept out Virat Kohli, one of the most successful batsmen of T20 International. But the most surprising decision was the absence of star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah played a big role in winning the last T20 World Cup and was adjudged Player of the Tournament with 15 wickets. But not only Bumrah, but Babar also did not give place to his Pakistani teammate and star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi in this playing-11. However, he selected Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan for this team.
This is Babar’s T20 World-11
Talking about other players, in this team of Babar, England’s legendary wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler, South Africa’s David Miller, Afghan spinner Rashid Khan and Australia’s fast bowler pair of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins have also been selected. This playing-11 is only for T20 format.
Rohit Sharma, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Suryakumar Yadav, Jos Buttler, David Miller, Marco Janson, Rashid Khan, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Mark Wood.
