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

​

The 2009 World T-20 champions and the current No.1 in the T-20 format, Pakistan are one of the most exciting sides to watch when it comes to the shortest format of the game. The return of Mohammad Amir coupled with the emergence of young talents like Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan makes Pakistan a quality side.

It is an issue of concern, though, that due to some political reasons the most prominent T-20 league in the world, IPL, is eluded of players of such high pedigree. Imagine all the Pakistani talent adorning the Indian Premier League; it will take this celebrated league to a next level.

As we hope that Pakistani players are allowed to take part in the IPL, let us have a look at the current IPL XI that can provide a tough competition to World’s best T-20 side at the moment.

Openers

​

​

#1 David Warner

The pocket rocket who can take down any bowling attack on his day, David Warner has scored 4010 runs at an average of 40.54 with a strike rate of 142.13 in his IPL career. Warner has scored the most number of runs in the previous four editions of the Indian Premier League. He has the ability to play shots all around the ground and with his athletic fielding, he becomes a must in the side. Watching him bat against a quality Pakistan bowling attack would be fun and exciting.

​

#2 Rohit Sharma

The classy Indian opener and Mumbai Indians captain, Rohit Sharma is the second opener in this team. He has scored 4207 runs in his IPL career at an average of 32.61 with a strike rate of 130.89. Rohit has had his own little rivalry against Mohammad Amir where the latter had got the better of the former on all occasions. This mini battle among the big clash would be the one to watch out for.
