ICC Men's Cricket World Cup: Virender Sehwag picks his ‘fab five’ for dream team. Find here
Ahead of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, former Indian cricket star Virender Sehwag has shared his dream ODI XI, comprising five exceptional players. Known for his aggressive style, Sehwag amassed 8273 runs and 15 centuries in 50-over cricket. He played a pivotal role in India's 2011 World Cup victory.

3. David Warner (Australia) Warner bats in a similar style to how Sehwag used to and the Australian was an automatic choice for the former India opener to make. The southpaw has 6,030 runs in 143 ODIs at an average of above 44 and 19 centuries.
4. Glenn Phillips (New Zealand) One from left field here, as Sehwag opted for New Zealand hard-hitter Glenn Phillips. While Phillips is yet to play at a 50-over World Cup and has only featured in 16 ODIs for his country in which he has scored 351 runs with one fifty, Sehwag obviously saw something he liked during last year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia last year.
Phillips hit a brilliant century against Sri Lanka at the SCG during that tournament and Sehwag is tipping the 26-year-old to shine in India. 5. Jasprit Bumrah (India) Sehwag is an unbridled
