The post has compiled a list of the top all-around players for the Twenty20 World Cup in 2022. You can check latest icc world cup news to know more about these amazing players.
Hardik Pandya
After suffering a career-threatening injury at the T20 World Cup last year, Hardik Pandya is experiencing a remarkable return. A year later, fully healed from his injuries, he was named captain of the IPL’s first club, the Gujarat Titans, and led them to their first championship.
Hardik Pandya has appeared in 73 T20Is, during which time he has amassed 989 runs and 54 wickets (including two 4-wicket hauls). In Down Under, he’s hitting 39.00 percent of the time. Over the course of 19 Twenty20 Internationals this year, Pandya has taken 12 wickets and scored 436 runs at an average of 36.33.
Glenn Maxwell
Big Show is the nickname his supporters have given Australian all-star Glenn Maxwell. The middle-order hitter also spins the ball sometimes and is notorious for his big sixes and role as the game-winning run scorer.
Maxwell has played in 94 Twenty20 Internationals, during which time he has amassed 2041 runs and taken 36 wickets. Maxwell isn’t the first choice when looking for a spin bowler, but when he’s on, he can bowl over any batter. As a bowler, he tops the charts with statistics of 3/10.
Mitchell Marsh
Mitchell Marsh’s heroic performance in the T20 World Cup 2021 victory solidified his position on the squad. Marsh is now batting at the top of the order, and his medium-paced bowling is a useful asset on the Australian surfaces.
The last T20 World Cup final showed that, like Maxwell, Marsh is capable of performing effectively in the finishing role. He was named Player of the Match after scoring the winning runs and hitting 77 runs off 50 balls.
Moeen Ali
Moeen Ali has been an integral member of the England Twenty20 International team since 2014. He can be relied upon as a solid batsman and spin bowling option.
Given that this is Ali’s strongest season to date, it’s no surprise that Buttler has continued to trust in the all-rounder as a key cog in his lineup.
So far in the year 2022, Ali has played 21 Twenty20 Internationals, in which he has amassed 458 runs at an average of 32.71 while also claiming 12 wickets at an average of 25.91.
Shakib Al-Hasan
As of right now, Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh and a brilliant all-rounder, is ranked first in that category by the International Cricket Council for Twenty20 Internationals. Hasan took regained the role from Mohammad Nabi and kept it.
In the annals of Twenty20 International cricket, the 35-year-old will be remembered as one of the game’s finest all-rounders. His numbers in Twenty20 Internationals speak for themselves.
Shakib Al Hasan has scored 2199 runs at a strike rate of 23.90 and taken 122 wickets at a respectable 20.89 in 104 Twenty20 Internationals.
Shakib has appeared in 10 T20 Internationals this year, in which he has scored 305 runs at an average of 33.88 while also picking up 5 wickets.
Sikander Raza
It would not be an exaggeration to call Raza the best player in Zimbabwe right now.
So far in 60 T20 Internationals, Raza has amassed 1136 runs and 32 wickets. He is now ranked 7th among all-rounders in the ICC T20I rankings.
Raza is a Pakistani native who has made his mark in many Twenty20 tournaments. 145 Twenty-Twenty matches are in his resume.
Mohammad Nabi
The Afghanistan captain is regarded as a top-tier all-around performer in Twenty20 international competition. Currently ranked second in ICC Twenty20 Internationals.
Across 101 Twenty20 Internationals, Nabi has accumulated 1669 runs and 83 wickets.
Aside from his numbers, he has been a fantastic captain for the Afghanistan squad, and it is down to him that the team has improved to the point where they qualified for the Super 12 round of this year’s T20 World Cup.
Nabi is a crucial player for Afghanistan because of his versatility. He is a solid spin bowling option and gets critical runs while also being able to adapt his batting style to the game’s flow.
Wanindu Hasaranga
Hasaranga’s development into a key player for Sri Lanka’s Twenty20 International team has been remarkable. So far this year, he has been phenomenal, accumulating 26 wickets and 140 runs in 14 T20 Internationals.
This season of the IPL was also a successful one for Hasaranga. He made 18 appearances for Royal Challengers Bangalore, collecting 26 wickets.
Hasaranga took nine wickets in six matches as Sri Lanka won the Asia Cup in 2022.
Not only does he have the ability to bowl, but also to smash enormous sixes and score critical runs, he is an all-rounder. He may also be used as a late-game finisher if necessary.
Michael Bracewell
At age 31, Bracewell made his debut for New Zealand in Twenty20 Internationals and has since been an indispensable member of the T20I squad. In 13 T20 Internationals, he has played, he has taken 17 wickets and scored a career-high 61*. New Zealand now has its all-around player to back up Mitchell Santner in Bracewell. His best bowling stats are 3 for 5 and he has an overall average of 9.82.
Mohammad Nawaz
Mohammad Nawaz’s versatility has been invaluable to Pakistan this season. Up to this point in the year, he has featured in no more than 18 T20Is for Pakistan. Nawaz has scored 231 runs and taken 19 wickets with his spin bowling in 18 matches.
When Pakistan faced India in the Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 round, Nawaz’s performance of 42 runs off of 20 deliveries earned him the title of Player of the Match. Pakistan won by one run with one ball remaining thanks to Nawaz’s century.
Shadab Khan and Nawaz both provide depth to Pakistan’s batting order and offer the team more options in the finishing position.
