Younis Khan Unveils His Ultimate All-Time XI

New Delhi, Mar 30: Cricket Icon Sachin Tendulkar was the only Indian cricket team player to have been named in former Pakistan batting great Younis Khan's all-time Test XI.

He picked the country's only 50-over World Cup winning captain Imran Khan as the leader of the pack in his all-time XI.

When asked to name his all-time XI, Younus started by naming his openers.

"I will start with two little masters - Hanif Mohammad and Sachin Tendulkar. Why is that? Because they are both little masters."

For the one-down position, Younus picked “Jacques Kallis — an all-time great all-rounder”.

For the wicket-keeping job, Younus chose “Adam Gilchrist, the all-time great wicketkeeper.”

Pakistan most prolific run-scorer in Tests then named three West Indies legends in his team for the number four, five and six positions.

"Then the Prince, Brian Charles Lara. Then the King, again another West Indian, Sir Viv Richards. And then Sir Gary Sobers."

In the bowling department, Younus’s choices were, once again, exceptional. "Sir Richard Hadlee. The great companion, the fastest bowler. After that the great Glenn McGrath from Australia. The way he performed everywhere made me a great admirer of him."

His spin option was a Sri Lankan great "Muttiah Muralitharan, the spinner, the king".

After picking his team, Younus seemed quite impressed with his choices and said: "That's good. It's a hell of a team seriously. A strong team!"
