South Africa and Team India will clash in the final match in Barbados. But before this match, the best playing eleven of T20 World Cup 2024 was selected, in which three Indian players got a place. The surprising thing is that not the captain Rohit Sharma but a player from the team that was eliminated from the semi-finals has been made the captain.
Best playing XI announced for T20 World Cup 2024
- Cricket Australia (CA) has announced the best playing XI of the season ahead of the final match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
CA's final XI batting lineup has surprised everyone.
- Rohit Sharma and Travis Head have been selected as openers. Hitman will be the first batsman, while Travis Head has been selected to bat at number two.
- Rohit Sharma's bat has roared fiercely in the T20 World Cup 2024. He scored 248 runs in seven matches and was the third highest run-scorer in the tournament.
Players got a chance in the middle order
- If we talk about the middle order of the playing eleven selected by Cricket Australia, then West Indies' Nicholas Pooran, USA's Aaron Jones and Australia's Marcus Stoinis have got a place in it.
- Nicholas Pooran got a chance to bat at number three, who has scored 228 runs in seven matches of T20 World Cup 2024.

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya and Afghanistan's Rashid Khan will play the role of finisher.
This opponent got the responsibility of captaincy
- It is worth noting that apart from being an all-rounder, Rashid Khan will also be the captain of the team. Cricket Australia has appointed him as the captain of its best playing eleven. He has been successful as a captain in the T20 World Cup 2024.
- Even though Afghanistan could not qualify for the finals, the team had reached the semi-finals by defeating fierce teams like Australia and New Zealand.
- Rishad Hussain, Anrich Nortje, Jaspreet Bumrah and Fazalhaq Farooqi have got a place in the bowling department.
Cricket fans have been surprised by CA ignoring Indian bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh.
- Both these bowlers have performed strongly for Team India in the T20 World Cup 2024. Despite this, it was a big decision of Cricket Australia not to select them in the best playing XI of the season.
