Shami has replaced all-rounder Pandya, who has pulled out due to a viral inflection, and will join Dinesh Karthik as the second India player in the World XI squad.

Mumbai Indians are the defending champions and have lifted the coveted IPL title three times in the league's history.

Sent into bat at the Eden Gardens, defending champions MI scored an imposing 210 for 6, riding on 19-year-old Kishan's 21-ball 62, studded with five fours and six sixes, and then bowled KKR out for 108 in 18.1 overs.

Pandya notched up a 20-ball 35 not out in MI's match-winning total of 181 at the Wankhede Stadium before capturing 2 for 19 to snatch the purple cap by becoming the leading wicket-taker with 14 scalps to his credit.

The ICC World XI will play a Twenty20 International against the Windies at Lord's on May 31 to raise funds for stadiums in the Caribbean damaged by hurricanes last year.

Other Asians who have already confirmed for the match are Pakistan's Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik, and Thisara Perera of Sri Lanka.

Laxman said gone were the days when one focused on one skillset adding these days one needs to master the other skills too.

Disappointed at the loss against Sunrisers on Tuesday, Mumbai Indians coach Jayawardene blamed the batsmen for not taking responsibility during their chase.

Hardik Pandya was spotted with Urvashi Rautela at a party where the two were seen exchanging flirtatious looks with each other.

The freak injury had happened off the final delivery of the Mumbai Indians innings bowled by Dwayne Bravo. Pandya wanted to go for a second run but twisted his ankle.

Pandya, who remained unbeaten on 22 off 20 balls, forged a fine 52-run stand with elder brother Krunal, who smashed 41 off 22 balls.

Pandya, who is currently preparing for the 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was embroiled in a controversy after a fake Twitter account bearing his name lashed out at Ambedkar for introducing reservation policy.

Pandya, in a tweet, had reportedly said, “Which Ambedkar ??? The one who drafted a cross law and constitution or the one who spread the disease called reservation in the country”.

Rahul and Karthik took a dig at Pandya in an entertaining way and said that his antics on tours light up the room. Take a look.

For the former skipper, any all-rounder should be strong in one of the two skill sets and for him Pandya is primarily a batting all-rounder.

Kapil also spoke about young all-rounder Hardik Pandya and said he needs to "work harder on his batting" as that is his primary skill as an all-rounder.

Lately, the 27-year old all-rounder has fared reasonably well in the domestic circuit especially in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare tournament, he showcased his hitting prowess with quite a few crucial cameos for Tamil Nadu.

Allrounder Pandya is currently busy playing T20Is for India, which recently clinched their maiden ODI series in South Africa.
