Shahid Afridi revealed the reason behind excluding both Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni from his all-time World Cup side on Thursday. The former Pakistan captain picked current Indian skipper Virat Kohli for his all-time World Cup XI team but his decision to leave out Tendulkar and Dhoni surprised many. Afridi, however, clarified that both Tendulkar and Dhoni are among his favourite Indian cricketers. Afridi went ahead with Saeed Anwar and Adam Gilchrist as his openers in the side, meaning there was no place of either Sachin or Dhoni. The only Indian in his XI was Virat Kohli, whom he kept at No.
