The conclusion of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which ended in a 2-2 draw between India and England, was marked with India's dramatic win by 6 runs in the final Test at The Oval. The series ended after being one of the most thrilling contests in the history of red-ball cricket.
For his openers, the former English paceman made a shocking choice first up, as he sidelined Ben Duckett and went on to pick the two Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul as the openers on his side.
His second shocking move came in the middle order, where he had sidelined the likes of Indian skipper Shubman Gill, the highest scorer in the series, and picked three Englishmen, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, and Harry Brook. Root was England's highest scorer with 537 runs, while Brook added 481 runs and Pope ended up scoring 306 runs.
Broad had already left out Shubman Gill from the 11; he further cited Washington Sundar as the all-rounder over Ravindra Jadeja, suggesting his impact was all-round with both the bat and ball. Ben Stokes and Washington Sundar were the two all-rounders picked by Broad.
Broad's massive praise for Mohammed Siraj
Stuart Broad has largely praised the efforts of Indian speedster Mohammed Siraj for excelling under intense pressure situations whenever he is subjected to leading the pace attack in Jasprit Bumrah's absence.
"He just looks like someone who thrives off the responsibility. He looks someone who wants the ball. I'm not saying he has less motivation when Bumrah's playing, but I think he likes that added responsibility. He is someone who looks to grow a little bit when Bumrah's not there. He grows when he's leading the attack. It's a great strength to have," he said.
Shubman Gill sidelined despite being Player of the Series
Despite having a splendid series with the bat, where he scored 754 runs in the series with an average of 75.40 and 3 big hundreds alongside that one historic double century at Edgbaston, Shubman Gill was not picked for the combined XI by Stuart Broad.
Broad's Combined XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Jofra Archer, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah.
