Sreesanth forms the 'All-time Good Boys XI' in cricket, picks Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli as openers

Former Indian fast bowler Sreesanth formed an all-time playing XI featuring the good boys of cricket. Interestingly, Sreesanth, who was known for his aggression, decided to pick all aggressive players in his team.

In an interview with Sportskeeda Cricket, Sreesanth picked 11 players for his calmest XI. He started the team by picking Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli as the two openers.

Next in his team was former Australian captain Ricky Ponting, who was known for sledging his opponents. Sourav Ganguly joined Ponting in the team as the captain, followed by all-rounders Shahid Afridi and Shakib Al Hasan, who have lost their cool on several occasions while on the field.

Shakib has shown his anger multiple times in domestic games as well. A video went viral from a domestic game in Bangladesh, where the star all-rounder kicked the stumps when he was unhappy with the umpire's LBW call. Also, he uprooted the stumps and threw in front of the umpire during the same tournament.

Former West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard added more firepower to the calmest XI formed by Sreesanth. To complete the XI, the former Indian fast bowler added spinner Harbhajan Singh, who infamously slapped him during the inaugural IPL season.

Sreesanth then picked himself in the team, adding Pakistan's Shoaib Akhtar and South Africa's Andre Nel to support him in the pace department.

It is pertinent to note that Akhtar and Harbhajan had a heated exchange during a match between India and Pakistan in Asia Cup 2010. Before that, Sreesanth and Nel had an aggressive battle in a Test between India and South Africa, where the former ended up hitting him for a six.
