#1 Virender Sehwag
The swashbuckling Indian opener is the second-highest run-getter for the Asia XI with 214 runs from 7 innings at a high strike rate of 103. In the first ODI of the 2005 edition, he got off to a quick start by scoring 5 boundaries but was soon dismissed by Shaun Pollock, edging the ball to Mark Boucher behind the stumps. It was a similar story in the second game as he looked well settled before throwing his wicket away to Thomas Odoyo. In the third game, Dale Steyn castled him early but the match was called off due to rain.
