šØ Gautam GambhirĀ surprised everyone by revealing his all-time ODI team, and itās making waves! š
In a shocking move, Gambhir didn't pick Rohit SharmaĀ for his squad. Instead, he chose Virender SehwagĀ and himself as the openers. Thatās right, he backed himself to open alongside Sehwag. For the crucial number 3 spot, Gambhir went with the "Wall" Rahul Dravid, highlighting his pivotal role in the team as a solid backbone during his era. š§±
The number 4 position went to none other than the "God of Cricket," Sachin Tendulkar. š© Many believe this was an obvious choice given Sachin's iconic status and unmatched records in ODI cricket.
Coming to the middle order, Virat KohliĀ takes the 5th spot. The "Run Machine" has scored numerous centuries and is considered one of the best modern-day cricketers. š At number 6, Gambhir chose the flamboyant all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, known for his explosive batting and handy bowling in ODIs.
The former Indian captain and "Captain Cool" Mahendra Singh DhoniĀ got the nod as the wicketkeeper-batsman at number 7. Dhoniās calm demeanor and incredible finishing skills make him a valuable asset to any team. š§¤
In the bowling department, Gambhir picked two legendary spinners, Anil KumbleĀ and Ravichandran Ashwin. Both have been exceptional match-winners for India, with Kumble being the highest wicket-taker in India's ODI history. š
For the fast-bowling attack, Gambhir went with Zaheer KhanĀ and Irfan Pathan, both known for their ability to swing the ball and deliver in crucial moments. šŖļø Surprisingly, he didnāt pick any player from the 1983 World Cup-winning squad or include current spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.
Gambhirās selection has raised eyebrows and sparked debates among fans, especially for leaving out names like Rohit SharmaĀ and Jasprit Bumrah. What do you think of Gambhir's choices? Who would you have included in your all-time ODI XI? š¤ Comment below!
