T20 World Cup 2024: Top 5 Players to Watch Out for in their maiden World Cup

T20 World Cup 2024 is a few weeks away from starting. The tournament will be a good opportunity for 20 teams to compete and make a name for themselves. For the first time in the history of the sport, 20 teams will be taking part in the main round of a tournament. Associate nations in the likes of Oman, Papua New Guinea, Uganda, and the USA will be making their debut in the tournament. There are also many players from the top teams in the world who can make a name for themselves. The teams like India, Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and West Indies have some of the best players in the world. Some of these teams will feature a lot of athletes playing their debut Twenty20 World Cup. These players have the ability to make a name for themselves in the major tournament. All of them have different roles in their teams and are yet top play in the tournament. Here are the Top 5 T20 World Cup debutants to watch out for in 2024: 5. Ben Sears Ben Sears is an express pacer from New Zealand who has been good in T20Is in 2024. Bowling against top quality teams like Pakistan and Australia, Sears has claimed 7 wickets in 4 matches at a bowling average of 17.29, at a bowling strike rate of 12.00. In the powerplay overs, he can swing the ball. With the old ball, the Kiwi pacer has deadly bouncers and wide yorkers. Given the poor form of some key bowlers from New Zealand, he will be handy for the BlackCaps. 4. Phil Salt Phil Salt has been in a sublime touch in the last year or so. In 2023, the WK batter played 8 matches and smashed 394 runs at a great batting average of 56.29, at a batting strike rate of 169.10, including two hundreds. Across leagues in T20 cricket, he has been impressive as a wicketkeeper-batter, scoring quick runs at the top-order. Even with the gloves, the English cricketer is brilliant. The right-handed batter is aggressive and targets the bowlers without worrying about the outcome, which makes him a dangerous prospect. 3. Azmatullah Omarzai Azmatullah Omarzai was brilliant in the ODI WC 2023. The emerging player from Afghanistan shined as a batter and was handy as a bowler in the major tournament. In 9 matches, Omarzai scored 353 runs at a batting average of 70.60, at a batting strike rate of 97.78, including 3 fifty plus scores. With the ball, Azmatullah claimed 7 wickets and bowled well in the powerplay overs. The Afghan all-rounder was one of the standout performers in the tournament and would be hoping to make a mark in the T20 WC 2024. 2. Gerald Coetzee Gerald Coetzee has been rising through the ranks as one of the premier pacers for South Africa. The youngster can operate at a good pace and trouble the best batters in the world. Last year, the express pacer was a part of the South African team in the ODI World Cup 2023. In the middle overs phase, Coetzee can claim wickets. He can also seam the ball on good wickets. His aggressive style of bowling may prove to be vital for the Proteas in the upcoming world cup. 1. Rinku Singh Rinku Singh has been one of the best batters in the last few months in T20Is. The Southpaw has made a name for himself, batting well in all the series he has been a part of. The star batter has played 15 matches and has 356 runs in 11 innings at an insane batting average of 89.00, at a terrific batting strike rate of 176.24, including 2 fifties to his name. The middle-order batter has been arguably the best finisher in the last year in the format. Rinku has almost sealed his spot in the Indian team.
