New Zealand’s star batsman Kane Williamson and Australia’s legend Matthew Hayden have chosen their dream Test XI of the 21st century, but the surprising thing is that Virat Kohli’s name is missing in it!
Yes, Kohli who scored 9230 runs in Test cricket, Williamson did not give him a place in his list.
Let’s know what the whole matter is!
What’s the matter?
Hayden saluted Kohli’s class, but Williamson’s choice surprised everyone. Both their XIs have big names of cricket, but Kohli’s exclusion is bothering everyone.
Fans now want to know whether Kohli is not among the top stars of Test in Williamson’s eyes?
Williamson’s awesome XI
Kane Williamson chose Matthew Hayden and Virender Sehwag as openers in his Test XI. Australia’s Ricky Ponting, who is also the captain of his team, was given a place at number three.
At number four is a legend like Sachin Tendulkar, whose 15,921 runs are not hidden from anyone. The middle order includes Steve Smith, AB de Villiers and MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper).
The bowling has stalwarts like Dale Steyn, Shoaib Akhtar, Glenn McGrath and Muttiah Muralitharan. But Kohli? Nowhere!
Hayden’s power-packed XI
Matthew Hayden included Kohli in his XI, but his choice is no less explosive. He chose England’s Alastair Cook and Australia’s David Warner for opening.
The middle order has stars like Jacques Kallis, Brian Lara (captain), Kohli and VVS Laxman. The responsibility of wicketkeeping was given to Adam Gilchrist.
The bowling includes legends like Shane Warne, Pat Cummins, Brett Lee and James Anderson.
How is Kohli insulted?
The fans are not able to digest Williamson’s ignoring Kohli. A debate has started on social media as to how Kohli, who has scored 41 centuries, was left out?
Some fans are calling it Williamson’s choice, while some are considering it an insult to Kohli.
Kohli has recently retired from Test cricket, after which this news became more sensational.
