Quite a good team.
 
The thing about Babar & Bumrah is that they did have some good performances but had limited sample sizes, but how did Hastings get in there ? :))
 
Yeah I am not really sure about Babar Bumrah or Hastings.

Bumrah averaged 14 in 2016. Hastings was the highest wicket taker in the calendar year. Babar was probably selected for his consecutive triple centuries, although Root probably deserved it more.
 
Enemy No. 1 Virat Kohli is Australia’s ODI captain, not Steve Smith. Believe it

Virat Kohli’s love affair with Australia continued as he was named captain of Cricket Australia’s One-day team of the year. The accolade from the Australian cricket board was fitting as the Indian star’s dream run in 2016 started with his heroics in the limited overs series in that country. Rookie pacer Jasprit Bumrah has also made the Australian team of the year.

What will make Kohli feel all the more special is that he has been bestowed the honour despite not being the captain of India’s one-day team and has been preferred over Australia’s own Steve Smith, whose team beat India 4-1 in the one-day series played in January.

how is he enemy number 1 for Australia but also has a love affair with them?

He has a love affair with them because he has scored heavily against them and tormented them in all formats, due to which he is considered as their number one enemy/adversary.

a love affair generally has both sides to it.

Esp in this article it seems Australia/CA has the love affair since they have appointed them to the the captaincy of this eleven
