What is the best T20 XI in world cricket at the moment?

Spinners

Sunil Narine has played almost exclusively in T20 leagues around the world.

The spinners were very difficult to choose. The off-spinner choice was between the West Indies' Sunil Narine, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja of India and Imad Wasim of Pakistan. Ashwin and Jadeja are not in the best form and have been shunned from the national team since the Champions Trophy and while Imad Wasim is very tempting, especially because he is a left-hander, his economy rate is 6.07 in T20Is which is higher than the other candidates, so we went with the mystery spinner Sunil Narine. Aside from Narine's batting prowess, he has a T20 best of 5/19 with an average of 18.96 over a stunning 271 matches, including 371 wickets, with an economy rate of 5.82.

Our leg-spinner is Afghanistan's superstar Rashid Khan. Rashid has been very consistent in keeping an economy of 5.80 an over in T20s while being a natural wicket-taker, meaning he has a clear advantage over the expensive Imran Tahir and a very slim advantage over the sometimes expensive Shadab Khan, who is the only other valid candidate due to Tahir's poor economy rate and age. Rashid has 135 wickets from 91 matches with a stunning best of 5/3 as oppose to Shadab's 72 wickets in only 58 games. Rashid Khan also got the nod due to his T20I rankings of number one at the moment, indicating good form as oppose to Shadab's second-placed ICC ranking. The battle between Rashid Khan and Shadab Khan is sure to ignite over the next decade or so, revitalizing the world of leg spin.
