Former Indian Te﷽st skipper Anil Kumble has revealed his best XI of IPL 2019, based on the performances of the players in the cricketing extravaganza. He also included only four overseas players as only four such players are allowed in the playing eleven.
Fo🍎r the opening slot, Kumble has picked David Warner and KL Rahul, who have had a prolific run this season. Warner has clubbed 692 runs at a blistering strike-rate of 143.86, which is so far also the highest, while KL Rahul has amasses 593 runs at a healthy strike rate o♔f 135.38.
In the middle-order, Kumble went for Delhi Capitals duo Shreyas Iyer and Rishab🐭h Pant before choosing Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni. He also named Dhoni as the captain of the star-studded team.
Unsurprisingly, Kumble wen🔯t for Andre Russell and Hardik Pandya to💝 fill the sixth and seventh slot in the lineup. Both Russell and Pandya were in devastating form in the group stages.

Kagiso Rab🧸ada and Jasprit Bumrah are two of the best fast bowlers in the world right now and it is not a surprise that both of them have been bri🦂lliant in this IPL season.
