England's explosive batter Liam Livingstone has named his best all-time T20 playing XI. During a talk, Liam Livingstone named this XI leaving out many ace players. He has named 2 Indian players on his list. Livingstone didn't select names like MS Dhoni, Jasprit Bumrah, Dwayne Bravo & Chris Gayle which may seem surprising to a few. 

Livingstone has named England's Jos Buttler and Indian great Virat Kohli as openers in his team. He has also named the wicketkeeper-batter Buttler as the captain of the team. Apart from this, Kevin Pietersen & AB de Villiers have been given a place in the middle order.

The 'greatest' T20 batter Chris Gayle has been overlooked as well. However, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell & Ravindra Jadeja have been given a place, being the explosive all-rounders they are.
