Waqar Younis, on the Shubhankar Mishra Podcast, named his dream India-Pakistan XI, selecting Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Rohit Sharma, VVS Laxman, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Shahid Anwar, with only one Pakistani player included. He justified his choices based on career performances and impact in key matches, notably highlighting Bumrah's match-winning spell against Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup in New York.
Waqar also discussed Jasprit Bumrah's standing in Test cricket, acknowledging his 234 wickets in 52 Tests and accolades including ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year for 2024, but noted that his limited appearances due to workload and injuries mean he has more to prove to be considered among the all-time greats in the format.
