My best XI would be exactly the same as the ICC's except I'd have Brendan Taylor in for Maxwell. Instead, here's the XI which I would want to represent me based on sheer character and likeability:

1. Brendan McCullum :nz: (C)
2. William Porterfield :ire:
3. Kumar Sangakkara :sri: (W)
4. AB de Villiers :saf:
5. Brendan Taylor :zim:
6. Misbah-ul-Haq :pak:
7. Mahmudullah :ban:
8. Daniel Vettori :nz:
9. Wahab Riaz :pak:
10. Trent Boult :nz:
11. Morne Morkel :saf:
12. Sean Williams :zim:

I cannot understand Guptill's inclusion. He scored a century against Bangladesh and a double against a poverty Windies side. Dhawan performed better in the matches against better opposition.

Guptill: 49, 17, 22, 11, 57, 105, 237* 34 and 15 in the Final

Dhawan 4, 73, 137, 14, 9, 100, 4, 30 and 45 in the Semi

Guptill Basically three hundreds, one 50 and a 49

Dhawan Two Hundreds, one against Ireland. one 50 and 45

Guptill's 200 was during a quarter final against a West Indies side on par with Ireland in terms of ability where Dhawan only scored 100. Guptill's hundred against a pretty solid Bangladesh side where Dhawan scored only 45 against the same opposition.

Advantage: Guptill

Scoring a double century in a world cup knock-out game makes his innings one of the best of all time imo
