The 15th season of IPL has had a great start and the season has lived up to the expectations. Know about the best batsman, bowler and fielder in T20 cricket
The Mega auction offered a chance to refresh the squads and fill the loopholes in all the franchises. The initial phase has not disappointed and we have seen several enchanting performances by many new players.
It is very difficult to predict anything just by looking at the past record of any team. But still, when we asked some of the legends of cricket history about their favorite team in IPL 2022, They voted in favor of Mumbai Indians (MI). Maybe they feel that Mumbai will have the advantage of playing on the home ground there or they trust the Captaincy Skill of Rohit Sharma.
We asked our panel which consisted of the Betway ambassador Kevin Pietersen, commentators Ian Bishop and Aakash Chopra, and South African stars Rassie van der Dussen and Lungi Ngidi to reveal the name of their T20 GOATs players under five categories.
The Contemporary GOATs Of T20 Cricket, Best Batsman, Bowler And Fielder In The World
Who is The Most Consistent T20 Run-Scorer of All Time
When we talk about consistency and class, the only name that occurs in our minds is Virat Kohli. And the name Virat Kohli needs no recognition whether we talk about Test Cricket, ODI, or T20s. This man shows why he is among the GOAT in the cricket universe.
Rassie van der Dussen replied to the question about being the most consistent run-scorer. He said “Virat Kohli just always seems to be making runs.” Rassie Van further Dussen commented on Kohli’s batting technique and his extraordinary skill and said “he has sort of simple technique, classic technique, which obviously applies in test cricket. But he has also got the power game.
On the same question, Aakash Chopra stated that “He actually changed the perception completely that 30 is the new 50 in T20 cricket. He was averaging 50 for a very long time.”
Highest No of Six-Hitting in T20 Cricket
We all know that T20 is a game of destruction and hard-hitting by a batter. And when we talk about Hitting Sixes and destructive batting the most prominent name that comes to our mind is Christopher Henry Gayle. Answering the question about the most destructive batsman, legends revealed their thoughts on Gayle’s storm in t20 format.
Aakash Chopra said that “Nobody, I think, comes close to Christopher Henry Gayle”
Kevin Pieterson, who was once also the nightmare for bowlers said “The pick-up on the mid-on, just the flat-bat smack. It’s so dismissive”
And Ion Bishop stated that “He changed and helped to evolve the way t20 batting was. And that’s why I think He’s the GOAT of T20 batting”.
Most Fearsome Mystery Spinner of T20 Leagues
T20 was supposed to be a deathbed for spinners. However, the slow bowlers have evolved beyond expectations. There are some magnificent spinners who have not only left their mark but are still an enigma to face in T20 cricket. According to our experts, Sunil Narine is the most fearsome spinner in the t20 format.
Pietersen said “Sunil Narine, because of his variations. I had no idea which way it was going”
Chopra explained his thoughts on the bowling action of Sunil Narine “It’s like going to a foreign country. Maybe I go to China and everybody speaks a different language and I find myself completely at sea and you have no answer to the question that you’ve been asked. Somebody bowling a maiden super over, I mean, it takes some doing.”
Best Death Over Bowler
Death bowling sometimes seems synonymous with Lasith Malinga. We have seen several examples of how his leg-breaking yorkers and his unorthodox action has been troublesome for the batters in death overs.
Pietersen Believes that Lasith Malinga is As Good As It Gets In Death Bowling.
Dussen said, “I’ve never faced anything like that before in my life.”
Lungi Ngidi, Who himself is a fast bowler confessed that “those yorkers are absolutely crucial and deadly.”
And Akash Chopra is still amazed at Malinga’s spell in IPL 2020 final. These are the proof that Malinga was a hell of death over specialist bowlers.
Best Fielder
Fielders have always played a vital role in limited overs cricket, be it ODI or T20. In limited-overs cricket, they can change the course of the match at any time. AB de Villiers has proven to be that type of match-changing fielder.
On the fielding skill of ABD, Ion Bishop said “I am not sure that too many are better in any area of the field than AB de Villiers”
Dussen is also very influenced by the fielding of ABD. He stated “Some of the catches and run outs he inflicted were. yeah, truly mind-boggling.
AB de Villiers’ fellow cricketer Lungi Ngidi said that his presence is enough to raise the performance of the whole team.
