The legendary Australian player Adam Gilchrist has selected the first five players he would start in his ideal World T20I XI with less than two weeks to the start of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Gilchrist had a remarkable white-ball career for Australia, winning three Cricket World Cups. He revolutionized the sport with his work with both the bat and the wicket-keeping gloves. With a strike rate of above 140 in the T20 game, Gilchrist has shown his abilities in the early days of the format.
Gilchrist, who is now a Fox Cricket commentator, has supervised a significant amount of T20 cricket and selected players for his five-person team from five different nations.
1. David Warner (Australia) – ICC T20I Batting Ranking: 49th
He is in charge, according to Gilchrist. “I simply believe his aggressive mentality, the way he starts innings at the top, and the confidence he’ll have from the last T20 World Cup,” the speaker said.
2. Babar Azam (Pakistan) – ICC T20I Batting Ranking: 3rd
Gilchrist said, “I believe he can play all conditions pretty well. His adaptability across all forms, but particularly when it comes to T20 cricket, simply across all conditions.”
3. Hardik Pandya (India) – ICC T20I All-Rounder Ranking: 4th
Gilchrist declared, “Pandya is really a fantastic figure all around. “He’s in there because of his abilities to bat, bowl, field, and entertain.”
4. Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) – ICC T20I Bowling Ranking: 4th
He must be included in every T20 team, right? Said Gilchrist. “In this format, the world’s best cricketer of the year. Rashid Khan has been there for the past ten years.
5. Jos Buttler (England) – ICC T20I Batting Ranking: 21st
Jos Buttler for me, even if it’s batting heavy,” Gilchrist continued.
“He just has a lot of power and the guts to take it on. With only one flash of genius from him, the game would be over.
