England's all-time T20 World Cup greatest XI in tournament history
Check out the all-time top players from the England team who performed exceptionally in T20 World Cups. Here, we highlight their remarkable batting and bowling records, stats, and achievements.
4. Joe Root
Joe Root, who is an illustrious figure for England in Tests, hasn’t been a part of his team’s T20I setup since 2019 due to his low strike rate in the format. Root was a member of England’s 2016 T20 World Cup team that toured India and concluded its journey as runners-up.
In England’s scintillating campaign, Root put up a scintillating show with his bat, scoring 249 runs in six matches at a strike rate of 146.57. With these numbers, he also ended up as the third-leading run-getter in the competition. At iconic Wankhede Stadium, he took South Africa’s bowling unit to the cleaners.
Riding on his 83-run knock with six maximums and four fours off just 44 deliveries, the English team chased down 230 runs with two balls left and thumped the Protea side by two wickets. Root also received the Player of the Match award for his spunky innings.
