Greatest Asian ODI XI of all time

#6 Kumar Sangakkara

Kumar Sangakkara, former Sri Lankan wicket-keeper

Kumar Sangakkara might have batted at number 3,4 throughout his career, but he is too good not to make this list. His stylish cover-drives will always come in handy whenever the team requires to score quickly.

This Sri Lankan veteran is the second in the list of Leading run scorers in ODI cricket. Representing Sri Lanka for 404 ODIs, he has scored 14234 runs with 25 centuries and 93 fifties. He also has second most 50s in ODI cricket.

#5 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (VC & WK)

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, former Indian skipper

MS Dhoni is not only the skipper of this side but also the most successful Asian Captain ever, following just after Ricky Ponting when it comes to world cricket. Mahi has represented India for 321 ODIs, scoring 10046 runs with a whopping average of 51. He has scored most number of runs at number 6 or below, and is certainly, one of the best finishers of all time.

Being one of the best wicket-keepers, world cricket has ever witnessed, MS will definitely be the one behind the wickets in this team. He'll be handy in getting help from Dada with the field placements and his understanding about the game is the key for any side to win matches.

Honourable mentions:

Yuvraj Singh, Javed Miandad, Shoaib Malik, Ajay Jadeja, are likely to be missed out in front of these two cricketing Legends.
