Caribbean Premier League 2020: Best XI of the tournament
The season belonged to the Trinbago Knight Riders in every sense as they ran an incredible campaign of 12 victories on the trot and became the first team that won all the matches it appeared in a single edition.
2. Lendl Simmons – Trinbago Knight Riders
Lendl Simmons started the tournament on an extremely cold note as he continuously kept throwing his wicket. His scores in after the first 5 games read 17, 0, 21, 0, and 19. However, Simmons upped the ante real quick and found himself going after a couple of decent knocks in the games that followed.
His knock of 96 against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots showed why he happens to be such a potent weapon in this version of the game. His form shot up with incredible speed as he notched up 245 runs in the last four games of the tournament that included an unbeaten 54 in the semi-finals against the Jamaica Tallawahs, as well as his blistering unbeaten 84 off just 49 in the all-important final clash against St Lucia Zouks, that led his team to victory.
Simmons finished the season with 356 runs at 39.55 in 11 innings and also surpassed Chris Gayle tally to become the leading run-scorer in CPL.
