5 match-winning performances by unexpected heroes at the 2016 World T20 that don't fade away

Lendl Simmons vs India

Lendl Simmons in action against India

When you think of the West Indies team, the player that you will most probably remember last of all is Lendl Simmons. Not anymore. The fan following around India is of such a high magnitude that any player that has a wonderful game against India, becomes a star.

His 82 runs innings against India came at a time when it was needed the most. What made the knock even more special was that he had just arrived to play for the team after Andre Fletcher got injured—something that, from a retrospective view, became India’s undoing.

As he had just arrived, the jetlag was supposed to stick with him and hinder his performance. But instead, he played a gem of an innings, despite the fact that the luck played highly in his favour after being caught out thrice, only for two of them to be no-balls and one for Rohit Sharma to touch the ropes.
