Virender Sehwag is one of the best players to have played in the Indian Premier League. Former India captain Gautam Gambhir selected a team mostly consisting of players who were part of Kolkata Knight Riders when he was their captain. Gambhir was an important player in the IPL. He led KKR to win two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014.
Gambhir chose himself and Robin Uthappa as the openers for his team. They were key to Kolkata Knight Riders’ success, as their strong opening partnership helped the team win the title in 2014.
Gautam Gambhir chose Suryakumar Yadav for the No. 3 spot in his team. Suryakumar played for Kolkata Knight Riders under Gambhir. In 150 games, he has scored about 3600 runs in the tournament.
At number five, he has placed the legendary South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis. The destructive Indian all-rounder Yusuf Pathan has been placed at number six. West Indian Andre Russell who has been the key for KKR for years is at number seven. Sunil Narine is placed at number eight.
