Virat Kohli has been the backbone of India's batting line-up since the last decade. His records at the ICC events are spectacular. In the last ODI World Cup in 2023, he broke legendary Sachin Tendulkar's famous record after amassing 765 runs in the single edition of the tournament to clinch the Player of the Tournament accolade.
The right-handed batter, who is also the highest run-getter in T20Is, will eye to replicate his Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 form in the T20 extravaganza after finishing the cash-rich league as the top run-scorer. The 35-year-old will play a crucial role in India's campaign in the tournament.
Jos Buttler (England)
The England captain will head into the tournament as the defending champion after lifting the title in 2022, beating Pakistan in the final at Melbourne Cricket Ground. The wicketkeeper-batter is the highest run-getter for the country in T20Is with 3011 runs in 115 matches. He scored 359 runs for Rajasthan Royals in the recently concluded IPL season including two centuries.
In the ongoing home series against Pakistan, Buttler slammed 84 runs in the second T20I in continuation of his stellar form. His fierce batting at the top will play a significant role in England's campaign in the tournament.
