T20 World Cup 2022: Flop XI of Super 12 from Week 1

ICC T20 World Cup 2022 has emerged as an interesting contest in the first week of Super 12 round. Of 45 games, 23 have been played till now, while 3 got washed out and magnificent performances from the likes of Virat Kohli, Marcus Stoinis, Devon Conway Tim Southee, and Arshdeep Singh have lit up the event. In the coming matches of the tournament Down Under, these players along with some other big names will have the responsibility to add spice to the tournament with their brilliance.

On the other hand, there are some star players in the competition who haven’t performed according to their reputation. Before the event, these players were favourites to be on the list of top performers but after week 1, their display in the matches has been disappointing. In the next two weeks, these players’ performance might decide the fate of their respective teams, and also as influential figures, they will have to up their game to have an impact in the tournament. Let's have a look at-

Underperforming 11 of the Super 12 stage from week 1

1. Jos Buttler (C)

Before the T20 World Cup, England skipper Jos Buttler looked in good touch as the batter smashed two half-centuries against the Aussies in a three-match T20I series. In the T20 World Cup, the management and English fans were expecting him to play some explosive innings for the team but till now, Buttler’s bat has remained quiet. 

Playing the games of the marquee event against Afghanistan and Ireland, the wicketkeeper-batter scored only 18 runs with an abysmal average of 9. In the squad, his batting is very significant for the team, and in the upcoming matches, the wicketkeeper-batter needs to elevate his game by playing some big knocks against the top teams in the group.
