5 best players from the group stage of the ICC World T20

The group stages produced some wonderful moments as there were some really tense games, an example being the India-Bangladesh game, one that went down to the last ball.

In terms of individual performances, some players really stood out. However, it has to be said that this tournament has seen more of a collective effort from players, as most games were won with almost every player playing an important role.

However, some players did stand out through their performances. Here are the 5 best players from the group stages –

1) Virat Kohli

People are lauding him and rightfully so. When Sachin Tendulkar retired, fans were wondering how life would continue in the Indian team. After all, there can’t be another Sachin. And they weren’t wrong: there just can’t be another Tendulkar.

In every game in the groups, he got a start. But, it was against the Aussies that he showed his true class. His batting exuded composure, but the best about it was his ability to shift gears and make a tricky chase look like a walk in the park. It was wonderful—a classic example of how to chase a score.

In the group stages, he scored 184 runs—third most in the tournament—in just 4 innings as he averaged an inhuman 92. His strike-rate is also a phenomenal 132.37 and he has given the other batsmen a lesson on how to pace an innings while chasing.
