Harsha Bhogle picks his T20 XI of 2018

#6 Andre Russell(West Indies)

Best T20 All-rounder ?

All-rounders are always in huge demand in the shortest format of the game as they give the perfect balance to any team. Probably the greatest T20 all-rounder of all time walks straight into the team.

In the 36 T20 matches that Russell has played in 2018, he scored 625 runs at strike rate just above 186 and took 35 wickets. In a CPL match, he scored 121 runs in 49 balls, and also got a hat-trick with the ball, in the process becoming only the second player to do so.

#7 Dwayne Bravo (West Indies)

Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo is known for his death bowling skills, and the ability to strike the ball when needed. His economy rate has increased from the previous year, but this increase is because of him bowling the tough overs towards the end of the innings.

He was joint leading wicket taker in the BBL 2017/18 with 18 scalps, and scored his runs at a strike rate of 156.18.

#8 Sunil Narine (West Indies)

Another West Indian in the team

Sunil Narine is one of the mystery spinners that world cricket has seen, a skill set which is increasingly becoming more valuable in T20 cricket, but 2018 saw him become an even better T20 commodity thanks to his prowess with the bat.

In the 36 matches that he played in this year, Narine scored 521 runs and took 35 wickets.
