Six Indian cricketers in ICC’s T20 World Cup 11-player team of the tournament | Cricket News
Six cricketers from India’s title-winning squad have made the cut for the ICC’s team of the tournament for the recently-concluded T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and the West Indies.
The Indian cricket team defeated South Africa in the T20 World Cup final to claim their second title at the T20 World Cup.
While Virat Kohli was named the player of the match for the final, he missed out on the XI.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma rightfully found a spot in the team along with players like Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya. The Indian skipper made 257 runs in the tournament at a rate of 156.7, the second-most by any player, while batting at top of the order. He scored three fifties in eight games, the most memorable of which was the 92 he scored off just 41 balls against Australia in the Super Eight. He also plundered 57 off 39 balls in the semi-final.
India claimed the T20 World Cup title back after 17 years, when they had won the inaugural edition.
