Current IPL XI that can beat World No. 1 Pakistan T20I side

Middle Order

#3 Virat Kohli

The current Indian captain is the top pick. The orange cap holder in the 2016 IPL edition, Virat Kohli showed the world what he is made of. He scored a record 973 runs with four centuries and seven half-centuries. He is already among the best T-20 players of all time. In a match that will be full of emotions and feelings, Kohli will be as exciting to watch as any. The Pakistani bowling talent against India’s run machine would be one hell of a competition to witness.

#4 Suresh Raina

Referred to as Mr. IPL, Suresh Raina is amongst the best players in the Indian Premier League. It is impossible to imagine an IPL XI without Suresh Raina. He is the leading run-scorer in the IPL with 4540 runs to his name; he has scored these runs at an average of 34.13 with an impressive strike rate of 139.09.

Handy with the bowl and athletic in the field, Suresh Raina provides the perfect balance to the team. Raina’s presence provides stability to middle order and he can also change gears towards the end if required. It would be interesting to see how he handles the young and talented Hasan Ali.

#5 AB Devilliers

The Superman from RCB and one of the best batsmen in the world, AB Devilliers has the ability to demolish any bowling attack on his day. The 360-degree batsman has this rare ability to switch his batting style from classical to unorthodox; he can play the same ball over covers and over fine leg which makes him such a special batsman. His great IPL record speaks for itself. AB loves taking the attack to spinners and his contest with the young and talented leggie, Shadab Khan, would be the one to keep an eye on.
