Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni was the only wicketkeeper-batsman in Bhajji’s squad and unsurprisingly, he was also named as the captain of the side. Dhoni is the only captain in the history of the game to have led a side to all ICC trophy wins. Under him, India won T20 World Cup in 2007, 50-over World Cup in 2011 and ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.

Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan were two spinners in Harbhajan’s squad. Both Warne and Muralitharan are legends of the game. Murali is the highest wicket-taker in the history of Test cricket with 800 scalps wile Warne sits next to him with 708 wickets. In ODIs, Murali and Warne scalped 534 and 293 wickets respectively.

Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga also finds a place in Harbhajan’s squad. He is though past his prime but Malinga, at one stage, was unplayable in his career. He also led Sri Lankan team in the final of 2014 T20 World Cup that they won.

Pakistan’s Wasim Akram is the final player in Harbhajan’s squad. The pace-bowling legend scalped 502 wickets in his 356-match ODI career. Akram is regarded as one of the finest pace bowlers of all time.
