After winning their first 20-20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates last year, Australia's power-hitting David Warner will be crucial in their bid for back-to-back titles.

At the 2021 World Cup, the explosive opener scored 289 runs, including three half-centuries, helping to prove experts, who had all but written off the team, wrong. The 35-year-old has had a shaky run since, but recent scores of 75 and 73 against the West Indies and England demonstrated his enduring talent.

Fans went crazy when the star Indian Batter scored his 71st international century after a gap of 1021 days against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022. Kohli scored an unbeaten 122 against Afghanistan, his 71st century for India in all formats.

He had been dry for nearly three years when he did this. The 33-year-return old's to the field in this crucial tournament has Indian fans ecstatic. He'll be crucial to the team's success in the tournament.

Despite his inconsistent T20 form since the Asia Cup, Pakistan captain Babar Azam remains the most crucial player in his team's batting line-up. The 27-year-old has been scoring runs from every corner and would look to get some runs here as well.

Babar hit a match-winning 110 not-out against England at home last month, earning praise from some of the game's legends. “Babar is a complete player with his flowing drives and all-round shot range,” former Australian captain Ian Chappell wrote on ESPNcricinfo.

Jos Buttler

Since being named England's white-ball captain, star batter Jos Buttler has risen to the challenge of balancing his batting, captaincy, and wicketkeeping duties. He recently dominated Australia in a three-match T20I series in Australia, just before the 20-20 World Cup.

The opener is returning from a calf injury and would like to perform well in the crucial event. The English side will heavily rely on his performances to get in a good position in the tournament.

Trent Boult

The veteran left-arm quick bowler, Trent Boult, has maintained his form since last year's T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, where he was instrumental in his team's run to the final.

The 33-year-old, who can swing the ball both ways at high speeds, can destroy any top order with the new ball. He took 13 wickets in the World Cup last year, more than any other fast bowler, and he is a seasoned performer in Australian conditions.
