Modern-day ODI XI 

Australia v India: Carlton Mid ODI Tri Series - Game 2
Rohit Sharma is one of the finest opening batsmen

#4 AB de Villiers

South Africa v England - 2nd KFC T20 International
De Villiers is back to his best

AB de Villiers has still got the flair that was associated with him during the early stages of his career. He played an astounding innings of 176 runs off just 104 balls against Bangladesh recently, giving his fans a strong feeling of nostalgia.

He will bat at number four for this team. His experience and diverse-shot making skills would be particularly useful and he would be the architect in the batting order.

#5 Shakib-Al-Hasan

New Zealand v Bangladesh - ICC Champions Trophy
Shakib is one of Bangladesh's finest players

Shakib-Al-Hasan is a fine all-round player equally proficient with bat and ball. He would feature at number five in the batting order and help the team finish the innings on a high.

He would also provide healthy contributions with the ball, adding variety to the bowling attack with his left-arm orthodox spin bowling during the middle overs.
