But he clarified that it was a current team and not one from the recent past.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit has won the most number of Indian Premier League (IPL) titles and is Kohli&#39;s deputy in India&#39;s white-ball sides.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am picking a team to play in a tournament in the next three weeks,&quot; former Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Moody told Harsha Bhogle in the latest Cricbuzz interview.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;David Warner, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and AB de villiers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am keen to go with Jos Buttler but I need a left hander so I am going with Nicholas Pooran at five. I need a left hander in the middle order to give me the balance.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Dhoni, Moody said since the former India captain has not played competitive cricket after the 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final where India lost to New Zealand, he did not pick him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;That&#39;s why I wanted to clarify that (this team) is (for) today (playing now). Dhoni is a no-brainer otherwise. I am his number one fan and what he&#39;s done from a captaincy point of view and otherwise.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moody&#39;s World XI: David Warner, Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Mitchell Starc, Rashid Khan, Jasprit Bumrah, Jofra Archer; 12th man: Ravindra Jadeja<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
