Current T20 World XI

Twenty20s have become an ideal part of the cricketing calender with a number of T20 competitions around the world. Even though, the slam-bang format does not give long standing fame and honours to players, they certainly allow cricketers to shine under the limelight. Ever considered naming an all-star T20 World XI involving leading players from different parts of the planet? Here is one.Note 1: The players are selected on the level of effectiveness and impact one can manage in a fixture.Note 2: Not more than 3 players have been included from a particular nation.Note 3: The team is selected based on performances in all T20 matches, not just T20 internationals.

#1 Chris Gayle

With muscular shoulders, the hard hitting left-hander from the Caribbean is a force to reckon with and can take the game away from the opposition even by the end of powerplay. As many as 12 T20 centuries with a highest score of 175* (both world records) say a lot about the 34-year-old’s capabilities in the shortest format of the game.

With a dominant playing style, he is also the leading run scorer in all T20s. Add to that, an impressive average of 41.72 and a strike rate of 146.03 makes the West Indian powerhouse a must pick for any T20 team.
