The 2022 T20 World Cup will conclude with a clash between England and Pakistan. It has been an excellent tournament with a lot of close encounters and many unexpected results. Almost every team had, at least, one player stepping up. Hence, there are many contenders for the Player of the Tournament award. On that note, here, we take a look at three players who might win Player of the Tournament in the 2022 T20 World Cup.

1) Virat Kohli (India)

Matches: 6 || Runs: 296 || Average: 98.66 || Strike Rate: 136.40

Before the tournament started, not many expected Virat Kohli to feature on this list. However, at the moment, he is the most likely to win this prestigious honor. He has won it twice before and Virat could add another trophy to this list.

While Virat started with an unreal knock against Pakistan, he followed it up with some fine knocks against the other teams. Even against England in the semis, Virat got a fifty. India will hope that the player keeps his form for more time.

2) Suryakumar Yadav (India)

Matches: 6 || Runs: 239 || Average: 59.75 || Strike Rate: 189.68

Suryakumar Yadav is one of the players who might win Player of the Tournament in the 2022 T20 World Cup. While Virat’s mention came as a surprise, there is no element of surprise when it comes to SKY.

India’s No.4 was in top form as he scored useful runs at an excellent strike rate. If he had been longer at the crease against England, it could have been a different outcome for Team India.

3) Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe)

Matches: 8 || Runs: 219 || Strike Rate: 147.97 || Wickets: 10

The Pakistan-born Zimbabwe cricketer had a stunning campaign in the 2022 T20 World Cup. While he scored runs at one end, he also picked wickets consistently. No other all-rounder could come up with such a show.
