T20 World Cup 2021: Best XI of the tournament
Australia defeated New Zealand in the final to lift their maiden T20 World Cup trophy.
9. Trent Boult
Trent Boult was another left-arm fast bowler who wreaked havoc in this World Cup. Boult, who was previously regarded as a powerplay specialist, proved everyone wrong by demonstrating his excellent prowess at the death. While his companion Tim Southee handled the new ball department admirably, Boult took on the responsibility of choking the opposition to death.
With perfect yorkers and cutters, he has greatly improved his death bowling. It was on display against Namibia, where he troubled the batsmen with his variations. He has recently added wider slower balls and cutters to his arsenal, making him more lethal.
Boult spearheaded New Zealand’s attack and achieved enormous success, taking 13 wickets with an impressive economy of 6.25. His spells of 3/20 against India and 3/17 against Afghanistan were regarded as among the best by a New Zealand bowler in this World Cup.
