3 Best Indian Players In T20Is In 2022. India did not have a year to remember in T20I cricket in 2022. First, they failed to defend their Asia Cup title in the UAE. Then they missed out on winning the T20 World Cup title in Australia. They were considered favorites to win both tournaments but still failed to win any.

Idia lost to Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup to bow out of the tournament. Sri Lanka were the eventual champions of the tournament. In the ICC event in Australia, the Men in Blue lost to England by 10 wickets in the semi-final as their hopes of winning their second T20 World Cup came to a crashing end.

Despite the team not performing as a whole, the year was fruitful for some of the Indian players in the format. While a few excelled in the format in 2022, a few others were not given enough chances to prove themselves.

Sanju Samson is one name that comes to mind who should have played more white-ball cricket in 2022. Rahul Tripathi despite being named in a few squads was not given a chance to make his white-ball debut this year. In this article, we take a look at the three best Indian players in the T20I format for India.

SKY ended 2022 as the highest scorer in T20Is 2022. He had magical numbers this year with unmatched consistency. He scored 1164 runs including two hundreds and nine fifty-plus scores. He batted with immense ease against any opposition.

His true potential as a t20I cricketer was seen in the T20 World Cup game against South Africa in Perth. On a pitch where every other Indian batsman was troubled by the pace and bounce, Yadav found a way to score runs. He scored 68 off 40 balls taking India to 133 which in the end was not enough.

Kohli ended 2022 with nearly 800 runs in the T20I format. He missed a few games as he took breaks in between. Despite playing just 20 games this year, his average of 55.75 is the best among the top 20 run-getters. This was also the year where he broke his century draught scoring one each in the white-ball formats.

He scored 122* against Afghanistan to become the highest individual scorer for India in the format. His best innings this year was the unbeaten 82 he got against Pakistan at the MCG to help India an epic game in the T20 World Cup.

In his very first year in international cricket, Arshdeep Singh looked the part and looked set to play long for India. He has already become one of India’s go-to bowlers in the format. He ended the year with 31 wickets, 20 of which came in the T20 World Cup in Australia. He capped off the year with his best figures of 4/34 against the Kiwis in Napier.
