Top 5 players from ICC World T20 2016

#2. Joe Root

Without a doubt, he was the best player in the tournament. He played and starred for a team like England—who have some really talented players, but were still bettered by South Africa, West Indies, India and New Zealand when it came to quality.

Root led them to an unforgettable final, which they lost because only God wanted them to.

In the 6 matches that he played, he scored 249 runs, just 24 less than Virat Kohli, at a strike-rate of 146.47. In the final, when England had a sorry start to their innings, he came in and steadied the ship. He also chipped in with two wickets when he was given the ball by captain Eoin Morgan.

If luck was in his favour, he might as well have had the winner’s medal hanging around his neck.
