Shakib unveils his all-time ODI XI; no Rohit Sharma
What's the story
Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh's most accomplished cricketer, disclosed his all-time ODI XI during a recent interview with Sportskeeda. His selection includes cricket legends from various nations. The team features three Indian legends - Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni. While Dhoni leads the all-time ODI XI of Shakib, there is no place for Rohit Sharma, one of the greatest openers in white-ball cricket.
Middle order
Shakib's top picks for opening and middle order
In his all-time ODI XI, Shakib has chosen Tendulkar and Saeed Anwar as openers. This decision leaves out Rohit, India's Test and ODI skipper. Universe Boss Chris Gayle comes in at number three, followed by Kohli at four. South African legend Jacques Kallis secures the fifth spot in this dream team line-up.
Lower order
Shakib's choices for lower order and bowling attack
In the lower order of his all-time ODI XI, Shakib has placed himself at number seven, right after Dhoni. The team also includes two renowned spinners - Muthiah Muralidaran and Shane Warne. The pace attack is led by Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath. These selections mean that notable players like Rohit, AB de Villiers, Brett Lee, Inzamam-ul-Haq, and Jasprit Bumrah do not feature in Shakib's dream team.
