The International Cricket Council (ICC) has unveiled its 'Team of the Tournament' for the recently concluded T20 World Cup, featuring six Indian players. However, notably absent from the list is star batter Virat Kohli, who delivered a crucial performance in the final against South Africa.
Kohli, who took on a new role as an opener, had a mixed World Cup before excelling in the final, where he was awarded man-of-the-match for his 59-ball 76. Despite this, his overall performance wasn't enough for a spot in the ICC XI.
India's sensational seven-run victory over South Africa in the final marked their second T20 World Cup title, breaking a 17-year drought. Indian players excelling through the tournament contributed significantly to this historic achievement.
