Pontings All-Time IPL XI: Dhoni to be Skipper!
X
Former Australian Skipper Ricky Ponting picked up 7 Indians & 4 Foreigners who possess Match-Winning Abilities for his All-Time IPL XI.

Ponting named Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the Skipper of his IPL Team even though the Jharkhand Dynamite isn't leading Rising Pune Supergiants in the 10th Edition of IPL. Other Indians in the Team are Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra and Ashish Nehra.

The Australian Legend made good choices for the four foreign players in his Best IPL Team. While Chris Gayle and David Warner will open the Innings, All-rounder Dwayne Bravo and Speedster Lasith Malinga were included in the squad.

Inclusion of Amit Mishra and Omission of AB de Villiers came as a big surprise. Ponting defends choosing Mishra saying the leg-spinner is very successful in IPL because of his aggression and wicket taking ability. He claims inclusion of AB became difficult because of the record Gayle and Warner have as openers.
