England won the Twenty20 World Cup, and no one can argue that the team was not the best during the whole tournament. The tournament’s first place went to England. The team was sure to do well because they had great batsmen like Jos Buttler, Alex Hales, and Ben Stokes and great bowlers like Sam Curran and Adil Rashid, among others. Pakistan only made it to the semi-finals by a stroke of luck. Even though they played hard against the English monsters in the final match and beat New Zealand by a large margin in that match, they were not able to win the trophy.
According to the latest sports news in English, here are the names of the top 11 players in the ICC Twenty20 World Cup in 2022:
1. Virat Kohli:
Virat Kohli has made a huge impression on this tournament. He has the highest score of 296 runs, which includes three half-centuries, and he has also hit three sixes. After a couple of bad years, Virat Kohli has come back as the best batsman in the world.
The superstar lived up to his name by turning into a run-scoring machine while still getting a respectable strike rate of 136.40. In India’s first game of the tournament, against Pakistan, Kohli scored 82 runs without getting out. He went on to score three more half-centuries as he led India to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Because Kohli was able to bat through the whole game without being taken out three times, his average for the whole tournament was a stunning 98.66.
2. Max O’Dowd:
The Netherlands have definitely shown that they are a force to be reckoned with in this competition. They beat South Africa and threw off their predictions for the race semi-finals, which shows that they are a force to be reckoned with. Max O’Dowd, the team’s batter, has had a great series. He finished the competition with 242 runs, which puts him in second place for the most runs scored during the whole event.
3. Suryakumar Yadav:
Even though India did not end up winning the Twenty20 World Cup, this competition will be remembered as the place where India discovered its very own Mr. 360 in Suryakumar Yadav. He had an amazing 189.6% strike rate and scored a total of 239 runs because he kept his cool at the plate and picked great shots.
4. Jos Buttler:
Who could forget Jos Buttler’s amazing hit against India in the semi-finals? Even just thinking about those innings hurts, but this guy has been in charge of the whole series since the first game.
Buttler had a slow start at the World Cup. In his first two innings as the opening batsman, he only scored 18 and 0. But his score of 73 out of 47 against New Zealand helped England win, and it gave Buttler a boost for the rest of the tournament. Buttler’s last three innings were worth 28 (23), 80* (49), and 26. (17). This player did two great things during the tournament: he scored 225 runs with a strike rate of 144.23 and set the tone early in each inning to give England’s middle order a solid base.
5. Kusal Mendis:
The Asian Champions did not have a perfect performance at this event as a whole. First, they had trouble getting into the tournament. Then, once they were there, they couldn’t do well in the group stage games. But Kusal Mendis’s play was so good that everyone was amazed. In just eight games, he scored 223 runs.
6. Wanindu Hasaranga:
At the end of the competition, the Sri Lankan leg-spinner had taken 15 wickets. This made him the player who took the most wickets overall in the competition. He hit some very good batters with balls that went over their heads.
7. Sam Curran:
This person is the player of the tournament for the ICC World Cup 2022. He bowled very well throughout the series, getting 13 wickets in a total of six games. He deserves to be given this honour.
Curran, who used to be known for his strong hitting, has become an important part of this English team because of how well he bowls at the end of the game and how often he gets wickets. When you think about what Twenty20 cricket is like, Curran’s 9/70 in the tournament where he bowled overs 17–20 is amazing.
The best bowling numbers of the tournament were his three wickets against Afghanistan and his wickets in the final. There were four “overs” of play in the final. Because of how hard he worked, he was the clear winner of the Most Valuable Player award at the ICC Tournament.
8. Bas de Leede:
The Netherlands have done very well in this tournament, and Max O’Dowd and bowler Bas de Leede have both been important parts of that. He has taken 13 wickets in eight games, which is more than anyone else in the tournament.
9. Blessing Muzarabani:
Zimbabwe has had a mixed experience at the Twenty20 World Cup. They have played in some great games, but they haven’t been able to do much in the tournament as a whole. But the team’s pacemaker, Blessing Muzarabani, impressed everyone with his speed and bounce.
10. Anrich Nortje:
South Africa is the most disappointed team in this tournament, but their bowler Anrich Nortje has given them a boost by taking 11 important wickets in just 5 games. This gives them some hope for the rest of the competition.
11. Glenn Phillips:
According to latest trending sports news, Glenn Phillips’ century was one of the few bright spots for the Black Caps, whose batting order was often a mess.
Phillips scored 201 runs over the course of five innings and struck out 158.26 times per game. He wasn’t happy with how much money he made here because half of his total earnings came from just one inning. His failure to get to double digits in the semi-final seemed to be a big reason why New Zealand only got 152/4, which was a big reason why they lost. But whenever he was on the field, he was a threat and should be in their starting eleven because of this.
