The greatest T20I XI to turn up for India

Some of these are regarded as all time greats in T20 cricket.

Openers

Gautam Gambhir

India's MVP during their victorious 2007 World Cup campaign, Gautam Gambhir had a more than successful international career in the shortest format. Although he was not flamboyant and aggressive as his longtime opening partner Virender Sehwag, his steady and clinical style of batting always came in handy for the Indian Cricket Team. His 75 in the final of the 2007 T20 World Cup against Pakistan is still regarded as one of the finest innings in the history of T20 cricket.

Rohit Sharma

Easily the best limited overs batsman in the world right now, Rohit Sharma has been an integral part of India's squad in the shortest format since 2007. Initially playing as a middle-order batsman, his transition as a top-order batsman in limited overs format has been one of India's biggest success stories in the last 10 years. A perfect blend of aggressive batting and firm strokeplay, The Hitman is the only Indian batsman to have two 100+ scores in T20I. His presence at the top of the order provides the perfect balance to the Indian batting lineup.
