Best Indian ODI XI of all Time

Ajinkya Rahane
When you look at Rahane his batting seems like an old-school Mumbai batsman who mostly concentrated on his technique and his footwork in each of the shot that he played. He has all the textbook shots in his armoury while he times he ball quite beautifully. Despite having a short stature Rahane plays the short ball really well much like his home-town legend who is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsman of all-time none other than Sachin Tendulkar. Rahane looked quite a dependable batsman for his team and always played in a way that helped his team do well. He is a complete team man who always wanted his team to do well. His most productive shot being a punch of the back-foot helps him dominate the short balls of some very good fast bowlers who rely on bounce while at times he would step out and play a lofted shot straight down the ground on fuller deliveries. Although people make him out to be a Test player he is equally good a One-Day player but quite an under-rated one. His knock in the 2015 WC against South Africa where he scored 87 runs playing at the MCG while his 79 runs against the same opposition at their home in Durban in 2018 proves that Rahane equally belongs to the limited overs format as well.

Ashish Nehra
Over a 150 wickets in about 120 games Nehra was quite a bowler who on his day was pretty hard to play. A left-arm pacer with a slingy action who swung the ball lately to keep the batsman guessing. The height that he had was another weapon in his repertoire. His late swing along with the bounce he got at times was his most lethal weapon. Although in the sub-continent these kind of bowlers don't get much of an help but Nehra was a lethal bowler in conditions which had bounce and seam. His greatest spell was in the 2003 World Cup where he single handedly destroyed England taking 6/23 off his 10 over securing an 82 run victory for India. Although he was a bit inconsistent and had quite a few injuries he was one such bowler along with Zaheer Khan who helped change the face of Indian bowling.
