Best right-handed ODI XI from current cricketers
The list has been made with an attempt to pick players from as varied nationalities as possible.
11. Jasprit Bumrah
After Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra faded away from the ODI cricket scene, India saw the emergence of some quality pacers like Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav, in the 2015 World Cup. But, it was a year later that India found a bowler who fit properly in the aspects of bowling in an ODI match.
Much like Shami and Yadav, Bumrah had pace. But his ability to bowl in the death stood out by a distance. Shami and Yadav eventually became better at the death, especially the former, but there is no one matching Bumrah. He picks up wickets for fun in the ODI format. In the last few months, he has turned out to be one of the most effective players for the Indian team.
In 67 matches so far, Bumrah has picked up 108 wickets at an average of 25.33. His strike rate is 32.62 which is clear evidence of his knack for picking wickets. His economy of 4.66 is quite remarkable considering the number of overs that he bowls in the death overs. At 27, he is still young and on a journey to become one of the finest bowlers Indian cricket has seen.
12. Jonny Bairstow (12th man)
Ever since Bairstow has been promoted up the order to open, he has been justifying his talent. In 79 ODI innings, he has scored 3426 runs at an average of 48.25 and a strike rate of 104.64. He already has 11 centuries and 14 half-centuries in the format. He has been kept in this line-up as a 12th man as Babar Azam was selected as an opener. It is only fair that his numbers as an opener come to light.
