Broad’s all-time Test XI of cricketers he faced on the field features some of the biggest match-winners in Test cricket history, with a powerful batting line-up and a world-class bowling attack. However, Tendulkar's and Bumrah’s surprising exclusions left many bewildered.
Even though Sangakkara was mainly a middle-order batter, Broad, who recently backed Ben Stokes to lead England in 2027 Ashes, has drafted the former Sri Lanka captain as an opener to fit the team balance.
Stuart Broad's middle order packed with modern greats
The Englishman’s middle order looks very strong, with Ricky Ponting, Virat Kohli, and Steve Smith at numbers 3, 4, and 5. These three are known for scoring runs in all conditions and handling pressure situations in the toughest format of the game.
Another South African legend, AB de Villiers, was slotted at number 7 for his explosive batting style by Broad. De Villiers finished his career with 8765 runs at an average of 50.66 in 114 Test matches.
Picking Mitchell Starc over Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, Broad said, "I'm going to go Starc. Just most recently, watching him still leading that attack and bowling 145 clicks, hitting the stump, swinging it. Unbelievable, it's a good side to that.”

Adding a fun twist to the segment, Broad named Pat Cummins as the 12th man. He joked that Cummins has achieved so much in cricket that giving him the drinks duties is a joke.
However, Sachin Tendulkar's and Jasprit Bumrah’s exclusion left many stunned. Bumrah has been one of India’s most impactful Test bowlers with his accuracy, reverse swing, and match-winning spells, while Tendulkar remains the all-time leading run scorer with 16,000 runs in Test cricket.
