In a video posted on Sportskeeda’s YouTube channel, Harbhajan named Rohit Sharma and Chris Gayle as his two openers. He included another explosive opener in Jos Buttler at no.3. Explaining the decision to have the England wicketkeeper-batter in the one-down position in his all-time XI, the 41-year-old explained:
Harbhajan picked former Aussie all-rounder Shane Watson for the no.4 spot. On Watson’s choice, the off-spinner said:
South African legend AB de Villiers would bat at no.5 in Harbhajan’s all-time T20 XI while the captain of the team, Dhoni, would come in at no.6. Dhoni would also keep wickets.
The next two slots are occupied by West Indian all-rounders Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard. Harbhajan explained:
Harbhajan picked mystery spinner Sunil Narine, Sri Lankan legend Lasith Malinga and India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah as the three main bowlers in his all-time T20 XI.

Harbhajan Singh lashed out at Pakistan fans over fixing allegations
Harbhajan recently hit out at Pakistan fans, who accused India of fixing matches after the Men in Blue registered emphatic wins over Afghanistan and Scotland.
With twin victories, India have kept their hopes of reaching the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-finals alive. The Virat Kohli-led side had a disastrous start to the tournament, losing to Pakistan and New Zealand by 10 and eight wickets respectively.
In a video message on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan said:
India need Afghanistan to beat New Zealand in the Super 12 clash on Sunday. If that happens, and India can defeat Namibia comprehensively, they could still make it to the semi-finals on the basis of having a superior net run rate.
