An IPL XI that could take on the World T20 champions Windies

Middle Order:

#3 Suresh Raina (Chennai Super Kings)

Raina recently made his comeback into the Indian side

Powering his way at the No.3 spot is the all-time leading run-scorer in the IPL - Suresh Raina. One of the most prolific and consistent run-scorer in IPL history, Raina has been a cornerstone of CSK's success over the years. Blessed with the ability to maneuver the spin bowlers in the middle overs, Raina can play the sheet anchor role in the side.

Career Stats: Matches: 161 Innings: 157 Runs: 4540 Avg: 34.14 50s/100s: 31/1 S/R: 139.05

#4 Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians)

Rohit Sharma on his day can maraud the bowlers into submission

The Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma would be an ideal foil at No.4, having been a consistent performer in the middle overs for his franchise.

Just like Raina, Sharma also possesses the talent of taking on the spinners in the middle overs and on his day can maraud the bowlers into submission.

Career Stats: Matches: 159 Innings: 154 Runs: 4207 Avg: 32.61 50s/100s: 32/1 S/R: 130.9

#5 AB de Villiers (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

Mr 360- AB de Villiers

At No.5 comes 'Mr 360', AB de Villers. With an inherent ability to play shots all around the ground, De Villiers on his day can reduce the bowlers to a mere machine.

He can play both, the role of a power hitter as well as of a sheet anchor as and when the situation demands.

Career Stats: Matches: 129 Innings: 118 Runs: 3473 Avg: 38.16 50s/100s: 22/3 S/R: 148.17
