and MS Dhoni (Wicket-keeper)

The next is the Bangladeshi Legend, Shakib Al Hasan. The spin bowling all-rounder is currently ranked number three when it comes to the all-rounder rankings and number eleven when it comes to the bowler's rankings in T20I format. He is a very potent player with both bat and ball and is still a force to reckon with, in the shortest format. He definitely deserves his place in the starting XI.

The 24-year-old, Hardik Pandya occupies the second all-rounder's spot. The fast bowling all-rounder can be effective in all the three departments i.e batting, bowling, and fielding. Pandya can provide crucial breakthroughs in bowling, he can also destroy any bowling attack while batting. Furthermore, he has the ability to turn the match on its head with his fielding as well. He also deserves his place in the starting XI.

The former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni, has been in decent form lately. Arguably, he is one of the best wicket-keeper in the history of cricket. Dhoni, who has scored 1487 runs in 93 T20I games at an impressive average of 37 and a decent strike rate of 127. This shows that he still has the ability to finish the games on his own especially in the T20I format. He became the first keeper to take five catches in a T20I match.
