| Best T20 Captain |
Being a T20 captain is a difficult task for any player. Because T20 games are only 20 overs long, batters must score runs at the highest strike rate possible, while bowlers have just four maximum overs to put on their finest bowling performance. As a result, in order to win a T20 match, a captain must make the greatest judgments in the batting and fielding departments. This also leads to intense competitiveness amongst the sides during T20 matches.
T20 cricket has grown in popularity among fans throughout the years. As a result, numerous franchise T20 leagues in other nations have achieved widespread appeal. T20 leagues that are popular across the world include the Indian Premier League, Caribbean Premier League, Big Bash League, Afghanistan Premier League, Bangladesh Premier League, and Pakistan Super League.
