Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2018: T20I XI Of The Year

Colin Munro

Colin Munro

New Zealand's Colin Munro was in terrific form this year, smashing almost every bowler he faced out of the park. He was a hot deal in the franchise-based T20 leagues as well, playing a big part for the teams he signed for.

His strike-rate of 178 is one of the best this year and it was this destructive hitting of his which made him so lethal. Overall, he scored 500 runs in 12 matches at an average of 45.45.

Babar Azam

Babar Azam

Pakistani middle-order batsman Babar Azam had a great year, with a stupendous average of 62.55. Overall, Pakistan had a lot of positives in the shortest format of the game, winning every T20I series they played.

Babar scored 563 runs in 12 matches with six half-centuries to his name. He is currently ranked no. 1 in the T20I rankings for batsmen.

Mushfiqur Rahim(wk)

Mushfiqur Rahim

The 31-year-old from Bangladesh was one of the best batsmen this year for his country. He was solid in the middle-order and provided a lot of stability to his side. Bangladesh, however, did not have a great year in this format, winning just one series against the Windies.

Rahim ended the year with 397 runs to his name in 13 matches at an average of slightly above 30 with three half-centuries to his name.
