5 Indian players who deserved to be in the World XI squad

#3 Rohit Sharma

One of the three Indians to have scored a century in all three formats

Even when Rohit Sharma was in and out of the ODI team before cementing his place as an opener, he was one of India's better T20 players. He rose to prominence at the international level by scoring a fifty against South Africa in the 2007 World T20 and since then, there was no turning back for the right-hander in this format.

Once he was promoted to open the innings, Rohit improved on his consistency and played longer innings more often than not(everyone knows what he does if he plays a long innings).

He is easily one of the top five openers in limited-overs cricket at the moment and could have easily made a difference for World XI at the top of the order. Hashim Amla and Rohit Sharma opening the innings will give the opposition bowlers nightmare.
