Yuvraj Singh names his all-time XI after WCL final win
As the India Champions were crowned the winners of the World Championship of Legends after beating Pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling finale on Saturday, their skipper Yuvraj Singh picked his all-time XI. Yuvraj, who himself remains as one of the most decorated cricketers the game has ever seen, made some understandable picks as he named his XI.
He started with Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting as the opening batters while Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli came in at the No. 3 and No. 4 spots respectively. At No. 5, Yuvraj picked AB de Villiers, followed by Adam Gilchrist as the specialist wicket-keeper at No. 6.
At No. 7, Yuvraj went with Australian spin-bowling legend Shane Warne while Muttiah Muralitharan came in at No. 8 spot. In the pace department, Glenn McGrath and Wasim Akram filled the No. 9 and No. 10 roles while former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff completed Yuvraj’s team. He was also asked to name a special No. 12 player and he picked himself in the spot.
