Shakib picks Dhoni as captain in his all-time ODI XI

Bangladesh superstar Shakib al Hasan has named his best all-time ODI XI featuring India’s World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni to lead the side. Apart from Dhoni, two more Indian cricketers – Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli – are placed in the eleven.

Shakib during an interview with Indian website Sportskeeda on Friday revealed this dream team.

The allrounder has picked former Pakistan opener Saeed Anwar to open alongside Tendulkar. Dynamic West Indies batsman Chris Gayle and India’s Virat Kohli are slotted in to bat at number 3 and 4 respectively – a number below their regular position though.

One of the greatest all-rounders, Jacques Kallis comes at number 5 in Shakib’s side, followed by wicketkeeper-batsman Dhoni at 6. The 34-year-old placed himself at number 7.

The bowling department consists of four legends of the game – Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan, Pakistan’s Wasim Akram and the Australian duo of Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath; collectively these four have over 1700 ODI wickets to their name.
