In the running for the championship are three players from England, two from Pakistan, one each from Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, and three players from England.
In order for his side to get to the semifinals, Virat Kohli was essential. In six games, he scored 296 runs at an astounding average of 98.66. He currently holds the lead in the standings for runs scored in the competition. His runs also came at a good pace of 136.40. Kohli recorded four half-centuries during the tournament, including a remarkable 82* against Pakistan in India’s victory against Pakistan in Melbourne.
Suryakumar Yadav played some of India’s best at-bat innings during the competition with some of crazy strokes.
In six games, Yadav scored 239 runs while striking out a startling 189.68 percent of the time. He also scored three half-centuries, one each against South Africa, the Netherlands, and Zimbabwe.
Yadav’s accomplishments in Australia not only cemented his presence on the global stage but also propelled him to the top of the ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings as the best batter in the world.
