A pre-2000 XI that would have been a champion IPL team

#10 Spinner- Laxman Sivaramakrishnan (India)

The former Indian leg-spinner might be better known these days as a commentator but he remains one of the most gifted bowlers to have played for India and his career remains a case of unfulfilled promise. Sivaramakrishnan had all the deliveries that one could hope a top class leg-spinner would have and in this day and age, when wrist spinners are so important for a good limited overs side, he would be an excellent addition to the team.

Even on tracks which might not offer much turn, his accuracy, his variation and the ability to bowl a variety of deliveries would make him an indispensable part of the squad. He played only 16 ODIs for India but an economy rate of 4.26 is a clear indication of his prowess as a bowler.
