Ever wonder what a Wasim Akram could do to a top order in Twenty20 cricket? Or a Gary Sobers to spinners in powerplay? How would Kris Srikanth's ODI quirkiness work in the shortest and fastest format of cricket? While we'll never know how these greats would've adjusted to T20 cricket, once thing's for sure: a World T20 with them would have been an absolute cracker as well. So we went ahead and picked an XI made out of retired stars: the qualifiers are -- they should never have played T20Is and have played at least one ODI match. So here's the side, in batting order: Gary Sobers: What can Gary Sobers not do? He can bat, bowl spin and medium pace, field, and maybe even keep. He's cricket's version of Superman. He is cricket's greatest all-rounder. He qualifies for this list because he played one ODI - but look at his Test numbers: 8023 runs and 235 wickets in 93 matches, with the fourth-highest average in the format. Why as opener? Because you want you best batsman to get the first crack at the opposition. Kris Srikanth: Why you ask? Because Srikanth was a pioneer in ODI cricket with his swashbuckling style and we expect him to do the same in T20 cricket. And therefore, in a Dhoni-esque gamble, we're sending him out there from the off. He's mad, he's insane and he can pull off the unexpected. Only thing is, he needs to keep quiet. Let the bat do the talking. Brian Lara: 10,000-plus runs in ODI cricket and let's kill any arguments there itself. Lara can hit you leg side, off side, over your head and behind the wicket as well. Can be destructive and assured as well, when it comes to holding an innings. Top man. Aravinda de Silva: He qualifies by virtue of this video below -- just 37 seconds of what he can do to Brett Lee. Plus, he has taken 106 wickets in 308 ODIs, so we're going to give him the ball as well. He is this team's Virender Sehwag.
