For the middle order, he chose Shane Watson and AB De Villiers. Both have played important roles for their respective franchises – Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Followed by them, former CSK captain MS Dhoni and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were picked at No.6 and No.7 positions, respectively. Meanwhile, Dhoni has been chosen as the skipper too.

Meanwhile, Sunil Narine has been chosen as the lone spinner in Harbhajan’s XI. Narine is one of the key players of Kolkata Knight Riders and he has recently completed 10 years with the franchise as well. Apart from him, he picked two pace bowlers – the veteran Sri Lanka speedster Lasith Malinga and Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah.
