Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has picked his all-time T20 XI and named former India captain MS Dhoni as their captain. The veteran off-spinner picked up four players from West Indies, three from India, and one each from England, Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka.
In an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, Harbhajan picked Rohit Sharma and Chris Gayle as his openers while naming England wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler at the one-drop position. Harbhajan Singh picked former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson for the no.4 spot.
“Being an all-rounder, he has won many matches through his batting ability and has won games with the ball as well,” Harbhajan resonated.
Harbhajan Singh picked South African legend AB de Villiers for the No.5 spot while naming MS Dhoni for the sixth batting option. The former India captain will also keep wickets in Harbhajan’s all-time T20 XI. The next two slots are occupied by West Indian all-rounders Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard.
“The batting order can be altered and Pollard could be moved up and down the order depending on the needs of the side. Any T20 team is incomplete without Pollard,” Harbhajan Singh added.
Jasprit Bumrah and Lasith Malinga will head Harbhajan Singh’s all-time T20 XI while West Indies’ spinner Sunil Narine was the sole spinner in the side.
