On the eve of Christmas 2019, Gautam Gambhir came up with his best team of 2019. On his Twitter account, the former Indian cricketer Gambhir shared the list of 11 cricketers whom he felt were the best. Interestingly, Gambhir also chose a couple of characters of web series 'Inside Edge' in his World XI 2019 team.
