Hogg named Jasprit Bumrah the best death bowler in the world while revealing his tournament XI.
“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.” he said while speaking on his Youtube channel.
“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.”

Australia defeated New Zealand in the final by eight wickets to lift their maiden T20 WC title.
