Captain Australia Pat Cummins broke the virata Kohli from all the time of India-Australia together XI. Cummins, who will not participate in the White-Ball series against India due to injury, named the strong playing XI with legends from both sides-but it included it neither Kohli nor Rohit Sharma.
However, there was a catch. Cummins were asked to appoint a combined XI transmitter, and explained that he would only choose past players from both countries. Fast Bowler’s XI tilted heavily to the Australian side, with only Sachin Tendulkar, Mrs. Dhoni and Zheer Khan represented India in the line -up.
Cummins chose David Warner to open alongside Sachin Tendulkar. The middle order was Ricky Ponting, Steve Smith, Shane Watson and Michael Bevan. Mrs. Dhoni was named Wicketkeeper, while the bowling attack included Brett Lee, Shane Warne, Zahheer Khan and Glenn McGrath.
