Cricket, a sport known for its thrilling encounters, often brings out the intensity in players. While some athletes are celebrated for their calm demeanour, others are recognised for their fiery, combative nature. Former Indian cricketer, S. Sreesanth, famous for his own energetic style, has recently shared his all-time "Calmest XI," which ironically includes some of the game's most aggressive characters.

In a conversation with Sportskeeda, Sreesanth named Sourav Ganguly, the former Indian captain, as the skipper of this dynamic lineup. Ganguly, remembered for his passionate leadership, once famously waved his shirt from the Lord’s balcony, a moment etched in cricket history. Interestingly, this team features players who are known not for their calm, but for their fiery and competitive spirit.

Sreesanth's Opening Pair: Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli

The opening combination includes two aggressive cricketers from Delhi, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli. Known for their intense rivalry and never-back-down attitude, they bring a bold edge to the team's top order. Kohli, with his expressive celebrations, and Gambhir, famous for his no-nonsense approach, make for a fierce duo.

Ponting And Ganguly Form Sreesanth's Middle Order

Ricky Ponting, one of Australia’s most dominant captains, is the vice-captain. His aggressive captaincy and verbal battles are legendary. Sourav Ganguly, the captain of this XI, is known for his fearless approach.

Sreesanth's All-Rounders Pick: Afridi and Shakib

Shahid Afridi for his explosive batting, has had his fair share of on-field spats. His unpredictable nature, combined with his aggressive batting, adds flair to the lineup.

Shakib al Hasan, while known for his calm demeanor, has occasionally let his emotions get the better of him. His ability to perform under pressure, both with the bat and ball, makes him an essential part of this XI.

Sreesanth Further Picks Harbhajan, Akhtar, Pollard And Nel

Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar bring intensity to the bowling department. Both players have a history of heated moments on the field, adding spice to this lineup.

Kieron Pollard, known for his monstrous sixes, brings a physical presence to the team. Despite his fun-loving personality off the field, Pollard has been involved in several heated exchanges during matches.

Former South African bowler Andre Nel completes the bowling attack. His sledging and fiery attitude on the field, coupled with his aggressive bowling style, made him a fearsome competitor during his playing days.

Lastly, Sreesanth humorously includes himself in this lineup. Known for his own emotional outbursts and animated behaviour on the field, Sreesanth’s inclusion serves as a fitting end to this combative yet talented XI.
