ISLAMABAD, AUGUST 1: When Australian icon Matthew Hayden chose an all-time One Day International (ODI) World Cup XI that didn’t include Virat Kohli, it caused some controversy. Legends from several eras are on Hayden’s roster.
Two famed Pakistani fast bowlers, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, who used to terrorize batsmen with their raw pace and reverse swing, were chosen by the well-known Australian among them.
One of the best batters in cricket history, Virat Kohli shines in the One-Day International (ODI) format, where he has amassed 50 hundreds. He is third on the all-time list of ODI run scorers with nearly 13,000 runs, behind only Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara and “Little Master” Sachin Tendulkar. Many people were perplexed by Kohli’s absence from Hayden’s starting eleven.
Players recognized for their varied contributions to the game are mixed together in Hayden’s all-time ODI World Cup XI.
