Hardik Pandya was always going to be the top choice given a fantastic year for him in the T20I format. The allrounder was excellent with both bat and ball and also played a key role in India's T20 World Cup 2024 win.

"Hardik Pandya is at No. 1. He has scored 352 runs in 17 matches at an average of 44, which includes a half-century. He scored important runs throughout the World Cup. He has also picked up 16 wickets. He picked up David Miller's wicket and even more importantly Heinrich Klaasen's wicket (in the World Cup final)," Aakash Chopra said.
His batting performance in the semi-final against England and his bowling performance in the final against South Africa helped India clinch the title. Hardik Pandya scored 144 runs with the bat at an average of 44 and a strike rate of 151.57 and also picked up 11 wickets at an average of 17.36.
Marcus Stoinis & Sikandar Raza
"I have chosen Marcus Stoinis at No. 2. He has scored 330 runs at an average of 36 in 17 matches, which means you have done an excellent job. He has taken 21 wickets in those 17 matches," Aakash Chopra noted.
Roston Chase & Azmatullah Omarzai
The last two players in this list are Roston Chase and Azmatullah Omarzai. Chase was one of West Indies' best players in their home T20 World Cup campaign while Omarzai had an excellent year with the ball and showed his skills as an allrounder.
"At No. 5, I have kept Afghanistan's Azmatullah Omarzai. I find him a good player. He has scored 269 runs in 21 matches. His batting average is not very good, but he has picked up 18 wickets at an average of 22," the former India batter added.
Hardik Pandya is an established T20I player but will be aiming to stamp his authority in the ODI format as well. With the Champions Trophy due in less than a couple of months, Hardik Pandya will be key to India's chances in the tournament.
