The head coach of the Indian men's cricket team, Gautam Gambhir named his all-time India XI, snubbing some of the top players that the country is producing.
With only XI members to be picked, Gambhir had no choice but to pick some and leave out the others. The former India opening batter had to make some tough choices as he named the XI, but the decision to snub current ODI captain Rohit Sharma and marquee pacer Jasprit Bumrah left many surprised.
In a chat with Sportskeeda, Gambhir picked himself and Virender Sehwag as the opening duo, leaving out current skipper Rohit Sharma, who is widely considered one of the finest openers the game has produced.
At No. 3 came the man Gambhir replaced as the head coach of the Indian team, Rahul Dravid. At No. 4, Gambhir picked the GOAT Sachin Tendulkar, followed by the modern-cricket great Virat Kohli.
