Both Tendulkar and Anwar were prolific batsmen for their respective batters. Tendulkar scored 18426 runs in 463 ODIs, Anwar made 8824 runs for his nation.

For the middle-order, Shakib named West Indies’ explosive hitter Chris Gayle, current Indian captain Virat Kohli and quality all-rounder Jacques Kallis. Kallis, who is considered one of the greatest all-rounders of the modern era, scored 11579 runs in 328 ODIs and claimed 273 wickets.
