New Delhi, April 7: Australia spin legend Shane Warne has unveiled the best ODI XI that he has played against and picked two Indians in the list. Warne took to Instagram to name this side and picked all the players against whom he had played during his career in the limited-overs format.

The legendary leg-spinner included six batsmen and a fast-bowling all-rounder in his side. He picked Virender Sehwag and Sanath Jayasuriya as openers, followed by Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Kevin Pietersen.

Warne, who has more than 700 Test wickets and 1000 international wickets to his credit, named Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara as the wicket-keeper of the team. Warne's team also included England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff. In the spin department, he picked legendary New Zealand tweaker Daniel Vettori.
