2007 World T20
91 runs in six innings an average of 15 and a strike-rate of 198 and 12 wickets in seven matches at an average of 15 and an economy of 6.71- these are the tournament numbers of the 2007 World T20 Player of the Tournament, Shahid Afridi.

There are three other players who deserved to win the award at the end of the tournament. India's Yuvraj Singh set the stage on fire with 148 runs in five innings at an average of 30 and a strike-rate of 195, including two fifties in two must-win matches for his team. The numbers weren't great but the impact he had in India's victory is much more than that of Afridi in the tournament.
Yuvraj's teammates RP Singh and Gautam Gambhir were consistent throughout the tournament as they scalped 12 wickets in six innings at an average of 12 and an economy of 6.33 and scored 227 runs in six innings at an average of 38 and a strike-rate of 130 with the help of three fifties including a match-winning 75 in the final respectively.
All these three Indians deserved to win the Player of the Tournament award more than Afridi.
