His 11
At the top of the order, de Villiers selected Graeme Smith and Matthew Hayden as openers, followed by Australian great Ricky Ponting at number three. The middle-order features Kohli, Steve Smith, and Kane Williamson. Dhoni is positioned at number seven as the team's wicketkeeper. The bowling lineup includes two fast bowlers, Mitchell Johnson and Mohammad Asif, alongside two legendary spinners, Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan. Glenn McGrath has been named as the 12th man. No designated all-rounders were picked, which limits the side to four specialist bowlers, relying on part-time options like Kohli, Williamson, and Smith to contribute with the ball.

One of the most debated selections was Mohammad Asif, a former Pakistani pacer known for his remarkable skills but also for being banned in 2010 due to involvement in a spot-fixing scandal. Despite his troubled past, de Villiers included him in the playing eleven, acknowledging his talent with the ball.
Another big surprise was the exclusion of South African legend Jacques Kallis, widely regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history. The absence of any players from England or the West Indies also raised eyebrows, especially as legends like Brian Lara were left out. De Villiers' World XI reflects a bold and personal take on cricketing greatness, sparking passionate discussions among fans and experts alike.
