Sreesanth Picks His Calmest XI With Virat Kohli And Gautam Gambhir In It
Cricket, often termed as the gentleman’s game, has its fair share of fiery characters who bring an edge to the sport with their aggressive play and on-field antics. Former Indian cricketer S. Sreesanth, known for his own spirited presence on the pitch, has curated an all-time XI team that he dubs the ‘CLAMEST’ XI. This team comprises players renowned not just for their cricketing skills but for their combative nature.

The Opening Pair: Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir

  • Virat Kohli: Known for his passionate approach, Kohli’s aggression is as much a part of his game as his impeccable batting. His confrontations and expressive celebrations are as famous as his cover drives.
  • Gautam Gambhir: A cricketer with a no-nonsense attitude, Gambhir’s clashes, especially with Kohli, are well-documented. His opening partnership with Kohli in this team sets a tone of intensity right from the first ball.

The Middle Order: A Blend of Leadership and Aggression

  • Ricky Ponting (VC): As vice-captain, Ponting’s aggressive captaincy and batting style made him one of cricket’s most feared competitors. His verbal duels and competitive spirit are legendary.
  • Sourav Ganguly (C): Captaining this fiery squad, Ganguly’s leadership was marked by his fearless attitude, famously taking off his shirt at Lord’s, symbolizing his defiance.
  • Shahid Afridi: Boom Boom Afridi, known for his explosive batting and occasional on-field spats, adds unpredictability and flair.
  • Shakib Al Hasan: A calm exterior often belies his competitive nature, making him a strategic fit in this lineup with his all-round capabilities.

The Power Hitters and Bowlers

  • Kieron Pollard: His towering sixes and athletic fielding, coupled with an occasionally fiery temperament, make him an essential power hitter.
  • Harbhajan Singh: The ‘Turbanator’ is not just known for his spin but also for his on-field altercations, adding spice to the bowling attack.
  • Shoaib Akhtar: The ‘Rawalpindi Express’ was as fast with his words as with his deliveries, often engaging in psychological warfare with batsmen.
  • Andre Nel: His aggressive bowling was matched by his sledging, making him one of cricket’s most intimidating figures during his time.

Sreesanth: The Self-Inclusion

  • Sreesanth: Including himself, he’s no stranger to controversy or confrontation, which he believes adds to the team’s dynamic edge.
Sreesanth’s ‘CLAMEST’ XI might not be the team for those who love the serene aspect of cricket, but it certainly represents the sport’s passionate, combative side. This team, while potentially volatile, would be a spectacle in any cricketing arena, showcasing not just cricketing talent but the raw, unfiltered spirit of competition. Each player, with their distinct style of aggression, contributes to a team that would be as entertaining as it would be unpredictable, embodying the fiery essence of cricket that often lies beneath its gentlemanly surface.
