India-Pakistan Combined T20I XI Of Current Players
Cricket Today|June 04, 2021
The two Asian giants only play against each other in ICC events or multi-team events like the Asia Cup. Though both teams have played plenty of Tests and One-Day Internationals against each other, the same can’t be said about the shortest format of the game. Both teams have met 8 times in T20I cricket, with India winning 7 of them, including the most recent one in 2016. While India are currently second in the T20I rankings, Pakistan are fourth. Nevertheless, players from both India and Pakistan continue being part of fantasy teams of fans on both sides of the border. And, with the T20I World Cup scheduled to be held later this year in India, both teams could cross path more than once. Ahead of the marquee event, we’ve curated a list of the combined T20I of current players.

1. ROHIT SHARMA

Rohit Sharma is one of the most decorated batsmen in T20 cricket. He is the third-highest run-scorer in T20I history. So far, Rohit has amassed 2864 runs at an average of 32.54 and a strike rate of 138.9. The 34-year-old has a total of 4 T20I centuries to his name, which is the highest by any player in T20I history. He will definitely be one of the players to watch out for in the upcoming T20 WC.

2. MOHAMMAD RIZWAN

Mohammad Rizwan is a rising star in international cricket. He has been playing well for Pakistan at the top of the order, especially in T20 cricket. So far, Rizwan has played 36 T20Is for Pakistan, smashing 843 runs at an average of 44.3 and a strike rate of over 127. The wicketkeeper-batsman recently smashed his maiden T20I ton against South Africa (104*) in Lahore. He is expected to play a vital role in Pakistan’s bid to win their second T2o WC title.

3. BABAR AZAM

Since making his Pakistan debut in 2015, Babar Azam has taken international cricket by storm with his effortless batting, especially in T20Is. He is currently the third-ranked T20I batsman in the world after England’s Dawid Malan and Australia skipper Aaron Finch. So far in his T20I career, Babar has played 54 games for Pakistan, amassing 2035 runs at an average of 47.3 and a strike rate of 129.7. He also has a T20I ton to his name (122 vs SA). It will be interesting to see whether the Pakistan skipper can lead his side to glory or not.
