Gambhir picks his all time India ODI XI

[Chakdephatte]

 

 

 

[Chakdephatte]

He has not picked any of Rohit, Bumrah, and Shami in his team  

 

Plus who plays Kohli at 5? What's the need to have Dravid take his position? And Ashwin is mostly an average ODI bowler. 

 

Man, what a random team. This is the Indian head coach for you. 

[Suhaan]

No,Bumrah and Rohit?

[Suhaan]

Gambhir isn't Gambhir he's showing his inner clown

[zen]

Is it picked from the players who played with him?

Who picks himself in an imaginary 11

Lol at Sachin at 4 and Kohli at 5. Seems like a test match top 5 followed with two white ball finishers.

[Majestic]

Gambhir has mixed formats guys.

 

Top 5 seems pretty solid from Test lineup perspective and then you have two fantastic white ball finishers. In bowling, he has picked those big names he played with.

I would pick Rohit over Sachin, Bumrah over Irfan and Hardik over Kumble.

A sign that he is full of himself....

[Chaos]

He picked his ownself? 

[Chaos]

Sachin AFTER dravid? No he has to replace HIMSELF with the god.

[Serpico]

7 out of those 11 players are from the legendary 2007 wc team. What a team that was, didn't disturb a single exam for me that summer! 

[Ultimate_Game]

He has simply picked the team from 2006-2012, i.e. the players he played alongside. That's why no Kapil, Bumrah, Shami or Gavaskar (in Tests). Rohit was still not that great in that time period so missed out.

I think it is a pace bowler short despite having both Kumble & Ashwin who can bowl with a new ball. It is like an 11 that you would play in SL. 
 

My recommendation from his pick is to replace Dravid (and he is not even keeping) for an 11 like below:

 

Tendulkar

Sehwag

Gambhir 

Kohli

Yuvi

Dhoni

Irfan

Ashwin

Kumble

Zak 

Nehra or Agarkar (can bat too) or equivalent (from those who played with GG)

 

[LordPrabhzy]

Dravid? Ashwin? in ODI?

 

What about Kapil Dev or Bumrah?

[putrevus]

This is our head coach, who has no clue. I hope I am wrong.

 

Jingoism does not win matches.

Makes sense but then Kumble barely played ODIs in that period.

But he used to when Gambhir was on the fringes, and shared the dressing room with Kumble for a while. Gambhir simply selected the team based on the players he played with. Though Kumble didn't play too many ODIs at the end as his career was winding down, he was our main spinner for a while.

he played with Rohit too and hes easily better than both him and Sehwag
