The selection for the ODI side should be easier than the one for the Test side.
For one, ODIs are only three decades old!
Though that still means a lot of player statistics to go through it poses a lot easier challenge. Reasons?
a. India’s incompetence at this stage in the early years.
b. You are just more familiar with these players than ones who played almost a hundred years back!
I love One Day Internationals! It is the reason cricket in India is so popular today. We won the World Cup, albeit only once, in 1983!
Okay, so we haven’t really set the stage on fire... EVER!
But we can boast of producing some of the best individual athletes ever to be seen in this form of the game.
From Jimmy to Kapil, from Sachin to Mahi, this side should put quite a few bums on the seats!
The All-Time Indian One Day Eleven
John Wright (Coach): By the time his tenure as the Indian coach was finished,he was “more Indian than the Indians”, in his own words. The practice of having a coach is a recent trend in cricket, one borrowed from football, no doubt. in tapping Wright, India became one of the first countries to appoint a foreign coach. His biggest achievement is his partnership with Ganguly, one which sent India to 12 consecutive tournament finals! Plus, every all-time side needs its all-time coach, Wright?
