T20 League-wise Best XI of the year
Nowadays, many players play for more than three or four teams as well in a year apart from their national side.
11. Imran Tahir (IPL, CPL, MSL, T20 Blast)
Earlier in the year, Imran Tahir announced his retirement from the 50-over format. However, he continued playing T20 cricket and will end the year as the leading wicket-taker of 2019. Tahir has picked up 79 wickets in 51 T20 games this year and has an average of 16.15. Moreover, he strikes once every 15 balls and has an economy of 6.63.
Tahir has played just one T20I this year and all the others have come in various T20 leagues. In each of those four, he’s been somewhere around the top of the bowling charts. In the IPL, he won the Purple Cap as he scalped 26 wickets. He was the joint-fifth in the T20 Blast with 19 wickets. He topped the list in the MSL with 17 wickets while he was second in the CPL with 16 wickets.
Thus, it was Tahir’s year with the ball. He was simply outstanding and kept churning out wickets in every T20 league he played. He is way ahead of the second-placed Sandeep Lamichhane as far as wickets in the 2019 T20s are concerned.
