The cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra recently uploaded an interesting video on his YouTube channel. 

The coronavirus has created havoc in the world. The sporting industry had to bear the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic. The game of cricket also faced the heat as all the tournaments and series have either been suspended or canceled. 

The cricketers like any other citizens are practicing self-isolation and social distancing while being in their homes. Also, they have been quite active on the social media interacting with the fans and putting their opinions forward on various issues. 

While being in self quartination Aakash Chopra has come up with a brilliant concept. He released his best playing XI for the T20 format. However, the twist in this is that his best XI included the cricketers who never got the chance of playing this shorter format of cricket. 

Here’s the video uploaded by Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra was all praises for one of the best cricketers Viv Richards. He found Viv Richards perfect for Number 4 position in the T20 format. 

Further, he selected Pakistan captain, Imran Khan as the skipper of his T20 team. 

If we talk about Indians, Kapil Dev bagged a position in Aakash Chopra’s playing XI.

Following Botham, Chopra picked Gary Sobers, who performs well in difficult times with both bat and ball. Zimbabwe’s Andy Flower was picked as the wicketkeeper of the team.
