Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg has surprisingly picked one Indian in his team of the tournament and explained the reasons behind picking the player in the side. Australia managed to win their maiden T20 World cup 2021 title against New Zealand in the finals and it is important to note that the men in yellow have come into the tournament on the back of two series losses.

India’s performance in the T20 World cup 2021 wasn’t up to the mark as they lost the first two-game convincingly and the doors had closed for India reaching the semi-finals despite their late efforts. Brad Hogg named his team of the tournament on his Youtube Channel with 5 Australians in the side and named Babar Azam as the captain.

Brad Hogg Feels Jasprit Bumrah Could Fit Into His Team

Brad Hogg reckoned that Jasrpit Bumrah with his ability to bowl at any phase of the game and still to be among the wickets has definitely urged the Australian to include him. Bumrah finished with 7 wickets in the five games he played at an economy rate of 5.08 and he was one of the few positives for India in the tournament.

“Finally found an Indian that could fit in my team. Jasprit Bumrah, obviously a very good new-ball bowler, can bowl in the middle overs with spin at the other end, it is sometimes a nice combination to have in those middle overs. He is also one of the best death bowlers going around in World Cricket at the moment,” Brad Hogg told on his Youtube Channel.

Babar Azam To Lead Brag Hogg’s Team Of The Tournament

Brad Hogg picked Pakistan skipper Babar Azam to lead his team of the tournament alongside opening the innings. Azam finished as the highest run-scorer in the tournament and he deserved the leadership for taking Pakistan to the semi-finals despite his inexperience.

“Babar Azam will captain the team and open the batting as well. He has done a fantastic job by being able to control the innings. He also led his troops perfectly,” He added.

Brad Hogg’s Team Of The Tournament: Babar Azam (C), David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Matthew Wade (WK), Asif Ali, Rashid Khan, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa.
