Former South African all-rounder Chris Morris has unveiled his ultimate T20 dream team, a lineup that is nothing short of sensational. Packed with firepower, class, and sheer terror for bowlers and batters alike, this XI is a testament to Morris’ astute cricketing mind.
A fearsome opening duo
Starting at the top, Morris has picked none other than India‘s hitman Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain, known for his elegant strokeplay and ability to dominate any bowling attack, is the perfect choice to open the innings. Joining Rohit is the legendary Chris Gayle, the ‘Universe Boss’ who has terrorized bowlers for years with his powerful hitting. Their combined ability to launch sixes at will makes them a fearsome prospect for any opposition.
Strong middle order to remember
The middle order is stacked with world-class talent. AB de Villiers, the South African maestro known for his innovative shots and ability to change the course of a game, is a must-have in any T20 XI. Virat Kohli, the modern-day batting icon, brings his unmatched consistency and ability to chase down any target. Kieron Pollard, the West Indian powerhouse, provides explosive finishing abilities, while MS Dhoni, the cool-headed captain and wicketkeeper, adds stability and experience to the batting lineup.

Lethal bowling attack
Morris’ bowling attack is equally impressive. Hardik Pandya, the Indian all-rounder, offers a mix of aggressive batting and effective seam bowling. Sunil Narine, the West Indies’ spin all-rounder, brings his mystery spin and aggressive batting to the team. The Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah, known for his pinpoint accuracy, is a nightmare for batters. Lasith Malinga, the Sri Lankan speedster with his unique slingy action, adds another dimension to the pace attack. Finally, Brett Lee, the Australian fast bowler known for his raw pace and aggression, rounds out the bowling lineup.
A dream team indeed
Morris has picked his all-time T20 XI in a video shared by Sportskeeda on their Instagram handle. His all-time T20 XI is a dream team in every sense of the word. With such a formidable lineup, it’s no wonder that the former Proteas pacer is confident in their ability to dominate any T20 competition. This team boasts a perfect blend of power hitting, technical brilliance, and world-class bowling, making them a force to be reckoned with in the shortest format of the game.
Here’s Chris Morris’ all-time T20 XI: Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, Kieron Pollard, MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Sunil Narine, Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga, and Brett Lee.
