Saeed Anwar – Akram starts with Pakistan’s Saeed Anwar, acknowledging his exceptional batting prowess despite not being the best fielder. Anwar’s all-round abilities earn him a place in the XI.

Virender Sehwag – Joining Anwar at the top of the order is India’s Virender Sehwag, known for revolutionizing Test Cricket as an opener. His fearless approach to batting changed the game.

Sachin Tendulkar – At number three, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar takes the spot with his remarkable record of 100 international centuries, making him a natural choice.

Javed Miandad – The number four position presented a tough choice, but Akram ultimately selects Javed Miandad for his ability to assess and adapt to match situations, along with his exceptional fielding skills.

Virat Kohli – Virat Kohli, widely regarded as one of the modern greats, slots in at number five, solidifying the middle order with his exceptional batting and leadership skills.

Mohammad Yousuf, Babar Azam, and Others – The selection for the fourth batting position was indeed challenging, with options like Mohammad Yousuf, Babar Azam, Zaheer Abbas, Misbah-ul-Haq, Inzamam-ul-Haq, and Rohit Sharma. Ultimately, Javed Miandad gets the nod.
