    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, June 5:<\/strong>&nbsp;With the cricketing world still coming to terms with the coronavirus pandemic, cricketers have been naming their favourite teams and Australias limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch has now picked a combined XI from the two countries. Interestingly, he has picked Virender Sehwag over Rohit Sharma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Sehwag is my number one pick. He was so dominant. As soon he was on, the game was over. I want to go with Rohit Sharma, his record is amazing, but I want to watch Adam Gilchrist open with Virender Sehwag, hence I would pick Gilchrist,&quot; Finch told Sports Tak.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moving into the middle-order, he said: &quot;I will go with Ricky Ponting at no. 3 and then Virat Kohli at 4. It&#39;s such a tough position to bat at no. five. I would probably pick Hardik Pandya at no. 5 and Andrew Symonds at no. 6 position.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He picked M.S. Dhoni for the all-important number 7 spot and spoke about the cool and calculative nature of the former India skipper. &quot;Dhoni is a cool head under pressure, he takes the team over the line, be it in IPL or international cricket. If the team is 3 for 10, he comes out and get the runs. If the team is chasing, he finds a way the team to get there,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Picking the bowlers, Finch said: &quot;I would pick Glenn Mcgrath, Brett Lee, and Jasprit Bumrah as my pace trio. Brad Hogg has such a great record, should I go with Harbhajan Singh or maybe Ravindra Jadeja to bat at eight to get extra batting option... I am unable to decide, who would I pick, I am saying players who I loved to watch, but I am unable to decide. It&#39;s too hard to decide.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finch&#39;s all-time India-Australia XI: Virender Sehwag, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Andrew Symonds, MS Dhoni, Brett Lee,(undecided spin bowling option), Glenn McGrath and Jasprit Bumrah.<\/p>\r\n",
