The year 2023 was majorly dominated by ODI matches due to the big event of the ICC 2023 World Cup happening in India. However, there was a good amount of T20I matches also being played in this calendar year while the T20 World Cup will be played in 2024 in the West Indies and the USA.
T20I XI of 2023
With 2023 about to end, here in this article, we will have a look at the best T20I playing from 2023 among Test-playing nations alone.
Openers: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Phil Salt
Yashasvi Jaiswal got to play a lot of matches for India in T20Is in the absence of senior players like Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, etc. His aggressive intent in powerplay overs has been his biggest strength as he went on to record 430 runs from 14 innings at a strike rate of 159.25.
England's aggressive wicket-keeper opening batsman Phil Salt smashed back-to-back centuries against West Indies in the recently concluded five-match series where he went on record 331 runs, but despite that fact, he was ignored by all teams in IPL 2024 auctions.
