Former South African skipper AB De Villiers has named his best XI players for the just concluded ODI World Cup 2023. The 39-year-old left two huge names from the XI to leave the fans stunned and amazed.

AB De Villiers has included five Indian players in the list including his best friend Virat Kohli. Three Australian players found a mention in the team where a player each from New Zealand, South Africa, and Sri Lanka made it to the ultimate XI.

Australia won the ODI World Cup title for the 6^th time as Pat Cummins and his side beat India in the final. Travis Head led the charge with a blistering century while Marnus Labuschagne scored a brilliant half-century on Sunday.
