Piyush Chawla Picks His All Time IPL XI: Indian team's experienced leg-spinner Piyush Chawla has selected his all-time IPL XI. He dropped Afghanistan's star all-rounder Rashid Khan to make room for explosive Caribbean batsman Chris Gayle in his team.

Piyush Chawla chose his all-time IPL XI while talking in a podcast.

While doing so, he first named his four foreign players. He said, 'I would choose Lasith Malinga, Sunil Narayan, AB de Villiers and Rashid Khan as foreign players. As a spinner, my name is also a must in the team, but then people will say that I have taken my name. I have 192 wickets in IPL.'

He further said, 'Among the Indian players, I will choose Rohit and Virat. They will be the openers, but then where will Chris Gayle be? So Chris Gayle and Rohit Sharma will open. We will keep the batting order according to the pitch. My Indian players will be Rohit, Virat, Suryakumar Yadav, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and two bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Shami.

We will keep Chris Gayle in place of Rashid.'

Let us tell you that Chris Gayle has been one of the biggest players of IPL. He has scored 4965 runs in 142 matches in this tournament at an average of around 40 and a strike rate of 150. Gayle has scored 6 centuries in IPL and has also scored the highest score of the tournament which is 175 not out, this is the reason why Piyush Chawla dropped a player like Rashid Khan from his team for Gayle.
