A right-handed Asian ODI XI of the 21st century

Middle Order

Virat Kohli

Kohli is a modern day legend

Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper, will bat at 3 in this lineup, since his style of play is perfect for the position.He gives respect to the good deliveries and punishes the bad ones and he has found a whole new level of consistency.

His game is ideal for any condition in the world and there are only few in the game who can drive like him.

He is arguably the best batsman in the world at the moment and is a master during run chases.

Mahela Jayawardene

Jayawardene is class personified

Mahela Jayawardene will act as an architect in the batting order, and will link up the top order and the lower middle order.

His game was defined by ease and grace and he was very pleasing to the eye. During his prime, he dominated bowling attacks by playing copybook strokes and he was an artist at work.

He paced his innings perfectly and accelerated when the time was right and this makes him the perfect contender to bat at number five.

Inzamam-Ul-Haq

Inzamam in action

Inzamam-ul-Haq was an elegant middle order batsman, who made batting look incredibly easy. One of the most fluent batsmen of his time, Inzamam was a beautiful timer of the cricket ball and he had to put in minimum effort to clear the boundary ropes.

He was brilliant against the spinners, and one main reason for this was his excellent use of feet which forced the bowlers to bowl at a length of his liking.

Pace didn't trouble him either.
