Best Asia XI ahead of T20 World Cup 2021

The Indian Premier League is in the final stage. With multiple teams competing for the final playoff spot (where KKR has the upper hand in all likelihood) left, the level of excitement is rising exponentially. Now, there is more than just a win for the aspiring teams. It is also about few players showcasing their worth to open a window into the national side.

This is mainly because there are replacement options open for teams. With few players looking off-color, there is a small window for those who could not make it to the squad. This is the same case for most other teams. Few of their players are unable to find their mojo.

Most of the teams participating in the upcoming T20 World Cup are from Asian countries. Therefore, there is no doubt that there is a higher probability that fans might find an Asian team to lift the trophy within two months. So, why not explore the best possible Asia XI? Here is the

Rohit Sharma is arguably the most improved batsman in the longest format. He has this natural ability to have that “extra second” to chose his shot. Sharma is also a versatile player who can score as per the situation. 

In 111 T20Is, he has scored 2864 runs with an average of 32.18. Adding on, he has a strike rate of 138.96 in T20Is. With four centuries to his name, he is one of the most prolific batsmen in the shortest format of the game.  

Adding on, he might be the next possible captain after Virat Kohli. Under his leadership, Mumbai has won five IPL titles. As his presence brings experience and calmness in a format like T20, he is the opener on this list.
