All national teams are looking for impactful individuals for the ICC T20 World Cup, which is just around the corner. In T20 cricket, there is no set match length and a few overs can make or break any team. When teams face these crunch situations, they simply need an impact player who can contribute and win the game.In this list, we highlight the 5 players to watch out for at the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia:
5. Jos Buttler (England)
His form has been terrific ever since the IPL, and he continues to carry on with what he was doing at the time. There is no doubt he won't be holding back his punches, and if he gets going for England, baseball will become a thing in world cricket, specifically in the format for which it was designed. The England team would be desperate to leave a mark at the 2022 T20 World Cup, and he has been pretty fluent with his shots.
4. Virat Kohli (India)
The fact that Virat scored runs at the recently concluded Asia Cup is a direct indication that India will be led by him on the field. Despite this, he is India's best bet on the bouncy Australian surfaces, because he is the perfect fit. In recent years, he has once again started playing those shots he once struggled to make.
It is more important to note that he is making too many mistakes with the ball and has managed to stay on top of it all too often. In addition, it is refreshing to see him change his strokes when the ball pitches outside of the off-stump instead of trying to hit the ball straight. A successful Asia Cup will lay the groundwork for Virat to take over the world in T20 World Cup 2022.
3. Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka)
As the IPL progresses, Wanindu Hasaranga has become a talking point. Wanindu's purchase at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction was initially criticized by RCB management. Nevertheless, Hasaranga has proved that the price tag associated with him is justified with every ball that he has bowled. A good wrong one can be found in Hasaranga's repertoire. Stock ball and googly are difficult to distinguish. There is no easy way to pick him. The flipper is another delivery he has. There are lots of online betting sites already revealing the odds for betting and Wanindu Hasranga is definitely going to be a favourite to punters.
2. Suryakumar Yadav (India)
As far as limited-overs batsmen go, he is the best in the world right now. A 360-degree player, Suryakumar Yadav excels at everything he does. Against Australia in the first T20I, he put on a batting masterclass. His inning was one of the most impressive T20I innings. This was an innings waiting to happen.
Since his debut in March 2021, he has ascended to such heights many times. The world cup will be held in Australia, where Yadav has not yet played in Australian conditions. It is to be expected that Yadav will not be less audacious.
1. Jasprit Bumrah (India)
For the first time since the Coronavirus outbreak, India's unorthodox paceman will spearhead the T20 attack during the World Cup and is expected to become the country's leading wicket-taker. A 5-wicket haul would put him above Yuzvendra Chahal's 63-wicket series record for India.
With 21 wickets for Mumbai Indians at an average of 19.52, Bumrah ended the IPL as one of the competition's leading wicket-takers after a strong test series in England. A short run-up and express pace continue to make him prolific in all formats. There are few pacemen who are better at yorkers, and they could prove to be his most lucrative source of wickets on the UAE's spin-friendly pitches.
