Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam has omitted Indian cricket icons Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah from his T20 World XI lineup. Speaking on Peshawar Zalmi’s official YouTube channel, Babar was invited to assemble his ideal T20 XI. In a surprising move, the top-order batter left out star pacer Jasprit Bumrah and renowned batsman Virat Kohli from his selection.
Despite ongoing Indo-Pak political strains, Babar Azam thoughtfully included two Indian players in his fantasy team — Rohit Sharma as an opener and Suryakumar Yadav to bolster the middle-order with his aggressive strokeplay.
