In a hilarious conversation with Shefali Bagga on the sidelines of the Super 60 Canada 2025, legendary India cricketer Yuvraj Singh - also the brand ambassador for the league, has named his unique Playing XI, where he was asked to pick the calmest players of all time. However, Yuvraj cheekily mentioned all the players who carried a very fierce demeanour on the field, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir to name a few.

Notably, Yuvraj did not pick his former national teammate and legendary India skipper MS Dhoni, since he had to pick wrong answers only. However, he did mention Andrew Flintoff, one of his biggest rivals from his active playing days. Among bowlers, the Chandigarh-born picked the likes of Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth.

Yuvraj also mentioned names like of Australian players Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee as the bench strength, saying that he has an entire team ready, resulting into a hilarious video. Shefali posted a video of the interaction on her official Instagram handle, and the comment section below the reel is filled with rib-tickling takes by cricket fans, making the video a very likeable one.
