4. Marlon Samuels:

The man behind West Indies’ two World T20 final victories, Marlon Samuels’ versatility as a batsman and ability to strike the game away from the opposition makes him a great T20 player.

He is capable of playing in contrasting styles according to the game situation and his average of 32, and a strike rate of 120 in complement his economy of 7 and his 66 T20 wickets, adding another potential bowling option to the 11.

His experience and ability to perform in big matches consistently makes him an important cog in the middle order. Samuels’ specialty is the fact that he shoulders the responsibility to bat through the innings, no matter when he comes in, and alter his batting approach accordingly.
