Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has recently revealed his all-time Playing XI, featuring only one player from Pakistan.
He unveiled his all-time Playing XI while talking to the media after the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2024 final between India Champions and Pakistan Champions.
The legendary Sachin Tendulkar, three-time World Cup winner Ricky Ponting, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were chosen as the top-order batters while AB de Villiers, Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Flintoff were the lower middle-order players.
Yuvraj chose India’s T20 World Cup 2024-winning captain Rohit Sharma as the opening batter alongside legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
The line-up also features Australia’s two-time ODI World Cup-winning captain Ricky Ponting, as well as modern-day batting maestros Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.
Notably, the only Pakistani player in the team is legendary left-arm pacer Wasim Akram, who played a key role in the 1992 World Cup glory.
