Star India batter Virat Kohli, alongside Suryakumar Yadav made it to T20 World Cup’s ‘Most Valuable Team of the Tournament’. The team was announced a day after England’s victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has also been named in the squad as the 12th man.
Four England players — Alex Hales, skipper Jos Buttler, Sam Curran and Mark Wood — have also made it to the side, though all-rounder and Test skipper Ben Stokes, who played a pivotal role in England’s win on Sunday hasn’t found a place in the select XI.
Kohli was the leading run-scorer in the tournament with his 296 runs. He smashed four fifties, including a superb unbeaten 82 against Pakistan in the Super 12.
Middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav had an equally incredible outing as Kohli. Suryakumar entertained everyone with his aggressive batting style throughout the course of the tournament, amassing 239 runs at an incredible strike rate of 189.68.
Most Valuable XI: Glenn Phillips (New Zealand), Shadab Khan (Pakistan), Sam Curran (England), Anrich Nortje (South Africa), Mark Wood (England), Alex Hales (England), Jos Buttler (England), Virat Kohli (India), Suryakumar Yadav (India), Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan), Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe), Hardik Pandya 12th man (India).
