Top 5 Activ players from week 2 of ICC World T20

Ish Sodhi

Indian cricket fans must be wondering why he is representing them New Zealand. Born in Ludhiana, he emigrated to New Zealand and is now one of their most important players—someone whose tricky leg-breaks are at times unplayable.

India have not had a great leg-spinner since Anil Kumble and, from the looks of it, Sodhi could have been the potential successor to his throne (even though, he has a very long way to go). The man’s performances at the moment could easily propel New Zealand to glory.

He picked up four wickets in the second week of play, but his best performance came against Bangladesh. Bangladesh had no idea how to play his tricky bowling as they were bundled out for only 70 runs—Sodhi being the pick of the bowlers, picking up 3 wickets.

In a low-scoring encounter, bowlers like Sodhi are the ones that give hope to the team.
