Former India opener Wasim Jaffer picked his all-time XI from the Indian Premier League following the final of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. The richest cricket league in the world has now completed 15 editions having started in 2008 and with the league going even bigger and better every year, it isn’t easy to pick an all-time XI but Jaffer has managed to pick an impressive all-time IPL XI.

No Place For Rohit Sharma?

Jaffer made some surprising calls in his all-time xi as he didn’t pick Indian all-format captain Rohit Sharma, who is also one of the most successful captains in IPL history, having led Mumbai Indians to the IPL title five times. Besides Rohit Sharma, Jaffer also didn’t pick legendary South African batter AB de Villiers.
