Warne has come up with his greatest Indian XI.
Here is it - Virender Sehwag, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Mohammed Azharuddin, Sourav Ganguly ©, Kapil Dev, Harbhajan Singh, Nayan Mongia, Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath.
Navjot “Sixer Singh” Sidhu makes the cut as Warne says he and his contemporary spinners consider Sidhu to be the best player of spin.
He picked Ganguly because He wanted him to be the captain of the side, that is why VVS Laxman missed out.
He only picked players he played against. Hence no Sunny, Mankad, Kohli, Dhoni etc etc.

Wow!!! Thala Dhoni!
Wasim Jaffer names his best T20 XI - 11players from 11 countries. David Warner captain. He chose Bumrah over Kohli from India.
Such compilation are meaningless actually. Just like you are forced to choose a single player from a row or column, Any limitation put for selection is not worth at all.
Such activities just work for passing the time and idle discussions only.
Here, He would have chosen Kohli if a better T20 bowler was available elsewhere.And, putting in Ban, Nepal players, what purpose does it serve. It’s just Gimmick!
@Yogesh - Completely agree with you. I guess it serves the purpose of creating buzz and grabbing attention!
