#1 David Warner
The southpaw went through a tough period after facing a one year ban for the ball tampering issue but will definitely feature as Australia's ultimate weapon in the tournament. Warner won the 'Orange Cap' for his pyrotechnics during the 2019 IPL and will be keen to continue his form for Australia.
A stylish batsman capable of demolishing the best of bowling attacks all over the world, Warner's efficiency at the top of the order could prove to have a massive outcome in the tournament for Australia.
In 2017, David Warner enjoyed a fantastic run as he amassed a total of 691 runs from 13 matches at an average of 57.58 and with an ODI average of 43.43, Warner will be looking to make a big impression on his return to international cricket.
