Dinesh Karthik, who is always in the headlines in the cricket world, recently selected India’s all-time best playing eleven. DK did not get praise for this special effort, rather he became the target of cricket fans. The reason was that Dinesh Karthik did not include MS Dhoni in his all-time best playing eleven. DK has probably realized this mistake. He has apologized for not including MS Dhoni in India’s all-time best playing eleven.
Who did Dinesh Karthik include in India’s all-time best playing eleven and who did he leave out. When and why did he select this team? Before knowing this, let’s see his playing eleven. DK’s all-time best Indian playing eleven:
- Virender Sehwag,
- Rohit Sharma,
- Rahul Dravid,
- Sachin Tendulkar,
- Virat Kohli,
- Yuvraj Singh,
- Ravindra Jadeja,
- Ravichandran Ashwin,
- Anil Kumble,
- Jaspreet Bumrah,
- Zaheer Khan,
- Harbhajan Singh (12th player).
Dinesh Karthik chose this playing eleven while answering questions on ‘Cricbuzz’. During this, he clarified that this all-time playing eleven has been made by combining every format mentioned.
Dinesh Karthik – ‘Really made a mistake’
Dinesh Karthik, while talking on Cricbuzz, said, “Brothers, I made a big mistake. It was really a mistake. I came to know when the episode came out. When I selected 11 players, a lot was going on in my mind and in such a situation I forgot the wicketkeeper. Rahul Dravid’s name was in the team, so everyone thought that I was choosing a part-time wicketkeeper. But in reality, I did not choose Rahul Dravid as a wicketkeeper. Can you believe that being a wicketkeeper, I would not choose a wicketkeeper? This is a big mistake.”
Dhoni will be the captain of my team
Dinesh Karthik further says, ‘It is clear that Thala Dhoni can play in any format. I believe that he can play anywhere, not just in India. I think he is one of the greatest cricketers of all time. If I had to make changes to that team, I would put Dhoni at No. 7. He would be the captain of the Indian team.
