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

#4 Two down/all-rounder- Garfield Sobers (Foreigner- West Indies)

According to many, he was the greatest cricketer to have ever played the game and had the ability to win games both with the bat and the ball. Sir Garry Sobers was the epitome of attacking batsmanship and like many other West Indian greats, he scored quickly. In T20 cricket, he would have been a global star and would have been the biggest story of the auction had he played in a later era.

As a bowler, he was an excellent left arm medium pace bowler who could swing the ball and also extract seam movement. In addition to that, he was a dangerous spin bowler as well and which captain wouldn't want a bowler who can take advantage of the playing conditions by switching roles as required? At number 4, Sobers would make many IPL attacks look a bit ordinary.
