The International Cricket Council (ICC) has selected its ‘Team of the Tournament’ for the T20 World Cup 2024. The ICC has given place to 6 players of the winning team India in the team of the tournament. At the same time, no player from the runner-up South Africa team could make it to the top 11. Indian captain Rohit Sharma has got a place in the Team of the Tournament selected by the ICC. The surprising thing was that Virat Kohli was ignored from the team. Actually, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma has got a place in the Team of the Tournament selected by the ICC. Rohit scored a total of 257 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 at a strike rate of 156 and his brilliant performance was a major reason for India reaching the third final of the T20 World Cup. Along with Rohit, Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz was included in the 11 players by the ICC.
Gurbaz, who is the highest run-scorer in the tournament, scored 281 runs in the season and his partnership with Ibrahim Zadran was crucial in taking Afghanistan to the semi-finals. West Indies player Nicholas Pooran and Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis were selected as the middle order.
At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav was also included in the Team of the Tournament by the ICC. Surya may not have done anything special with the bat in the final match, but he turned the match by taking a brilliant catch. Surya played good innings in the semi-finals against USA, Afghanistan and England. Hardik and Axar Patel, two all-rounders, got a place in the Team of the Tournament. Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Fazalhal Farooqui have also been included in the Team of the Tournament.
