T20 World Cup 2024: Rating the most underrated players of the league stage

The group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024 is approaching its end. While many matches had results, some of the matches ended without a ball being bowled due to the rain interruptions and wet outfields. Such matches had a massive say on the qualification of a few teams. Many teams have had their ups and downs, while some teams have had an easy journey so far.

Bowlers have dominated the tournament so far with their disciplined attack. Batters have found it difficult to score runs due to the nature of the pitches. While some players have been appreciated enough if not more for their performances in the tournament so far, others have gone unnoticed despite doing well for their team in some important situations.

Here are the most underrated players at the end of the league stage of the T20 World Cup 2024:

10. Axar Patel

Axar Patel has done well for India both as a batter and as a bowler. On a difficult wicket to bat on like New York, Axar was promoted up the order against Pakistan. The Southpaw scored 20 (18) and helped India in scoring at a good rate. With the ball, the left-arm orthodox spinner has claimed 3 wickets in as many innings at a bowling average of 13.00, but the Gujarat-born has been a miser with the ball, which proved to be crucial in India's victory against Babar Azam's men.

9. Arshdeep Singh

Much like Axar, the performances of Arshdeep Singh have been overshadowed by the excellence of Jasprit Bumrah. The left-arm pacer played a handy knock of 9(13) and claimed 1/31 with the ball in the game against Pakistan. Against Ireland and the USA, the Guna-born bowled extremely well and finished with figures of 2/35 and 4/9 respectively.
