Fans will be excited to see their favourite stars shine and take their respective nations to the ultimate glory by the end of the nearly monthlong tournament. While as many as 20 nations will participate in the competition, only a few players will be in contention to emerge as the best of the best.
5 Players who might win Player of the Tournament
Let’s have a look at the top five names who might give strong competition to others to win the Player of the Tournament award.
Jasprit Bumrah
India’s bowling wizard Jasprit Bumrah has emerged as one of the world’s foremost T20 players over the years. Bumrah will be back at the T20 World Cup after missing the previous edition due to injury. The Indian bowler made his debut in 2016 and has been one of the names who haven’t been able to win the World Cup. The 30-year-old was recently a part of the Indian Premier League, where he scalped a total of 20 wickets in 12 games at an economy of 6.48 and an average of 16.80. Bumrah would aim to make the most of the season, and will undoubtedly be one of the strongest contenders to be named Player of the Tournament.
