The latest edition of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 came to a conclusion on Sunday after Australia defeated New Zealand by 8 wickets in the final of the tournament. It was Australia’s first ICC T20 World Cup title in the history of T20 cricket. It was quite heart breaking for skipper Kane Williamson because his heart-warming knock went in vain as Australia’s sensational batting performance easily chased down a 172-run total. The world cup of the shortest format witnessed some standout performances from world class performers in the tournament. In this article, we have picked our T20 World Cup 2021 Team of the Tournament.
T20 World Cup 2021: Team Of The Tournament
1. David Warner

In 7 matches, David Warner scored 289 runs at an average of 48.17 and a strike rate of 146.70. He was also given the Player of the Tournament award.
It was quite surprising to see Warner back to his original form because at the start of the T20 World Cup 2021, his form was a huge concern for Australian team. He had the worst season of IPL this year. In 8 matches, he only managed to score 195 runs for Sunrisers Hyderabad and was also dropped from the team. Even after all this, Warner made a strong come back for Australia in the T20 World Cup where it mattered most and silenced all his critics. He also played a match-winning 53-run knock off just 38 balls in the final against New Zealand. Warner finished the season as the second highest run-scorer.
2. Jos Butler

Buttler scored 269 runs in 6 matches at an average of close to 90 and S/R was 151.12. He was the third-highest run-scorer of the tournament. It was unfortunate for him as he was not able to lead England to the WC trophy, but he definitely had an amazing outing with the bat in this campaign. He scored the only century of the tournament in the match against Bangladesh. He will open along with David Warner.
3. Babar Azam (C)

The Pakistan’s skipper finished as the highest run-scorer of the T20 world cup 2021. He score 303 runs at an average of 60.60. Babar showed an amazing consistency by scoring four half-centuries in the tournament. He will be the captain of our team of the tournament. Although Babar opens the innings but he is also capable of taking the score forward in powerplay overs and therefore he is our number three candidate.
4. Charith Asalanka

Sri Lankan team found a new star in Charith Asalanka in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He is a type of player who can lead Sri Lanka in the years to come. Sri Lanka did not proceed to the play offs and therefore played only 6 matches. In 6 matches, Asalanka scored 231 runs at an average of 46.20.
6. Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali will be the all rounder of the team of the tournament. He scored 92 runs with a strike rate of 131.42. He also picked 7 wickets at 11.00. Economy of 5.50. Ali did not get much opportunity to bat in the tournament but he performed whenever and wherever he was needed. He was consistent in spells of 2/17, 2/18 and 2/15 in his journey which proves that he was a crucial part of England’s plans.
Another all rounder of the team, David Wiese was quite consistent with both bat and ball and helped Namibia qualify in the Super 12 stage. He was also the sixth-highest run-scorer in the tournament. He scored 227 runs in 6 matches at an average of 45.40. In bowling, he picked 6 wickets in 8 matches.
