10-Apr-2017
After more than 11,000 votes to pick the short list of openers for ESPNcricinfo's all-time IPL XI, the six nominees are Chris Gayle, David Warner, Virender Sehwag, Brendon McCullum, Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir. Now, it's time to pick the rest of the batsmen. We have included five possible wicketkeepers in the list of 12. Vote for three or four batsmen, depending on what you want your team combination to be, including one player who can keep wicket.
The votes* will be used to create a shortlist from which our jury, which includes four former Test players (Sanjay Bangar, Aakash Chopra, Brad Hogg and Ajit Agarkar) and members of our staff, will pick the final XI. In keeping with the IPL's rules, the number of overseas players in the XI will be restricted to four. The best comments will be part of discussions on the all-time XI during our live shows and video analysis. Keep visiting our all-time IPL XI page for updates on the team selection.

All the player stats are as of 22:30 IST, 10 April, 2017.
