This World Cup had a more global feel with teams like Nepal and Canada making their first-ever T20 World Cup appearances. Despite initial skepticism about weaker teams facing powerhouses like India and Australia, these newcomers proved critics wrong

After the first round of fixtures, everyone seems to have gotten a hang of what this World Cup has to offer. But then, cricket has a way of surprising everyone.

Before we head into the players themselves, the way impact was defined is the total numbers of Sixer match points accrued by each player divided by the number of total balls they were involved in with both bat and ball, judging everyone fairly and equally. So without further ado, here are THE guys everyone feared in the IPL this season.

In that pivotal match, Andy Flower made some bold decisions: sticking with Will Jacks over star player Glenn Maxwell, backing Rajat Patidar, and relying on Lockie Ferguson as the overseas pacer.

Now Team India would ideally want a back-up keeper who can also bat anywhere in the batting unit. The two options that come to mind are KL Rahul and Sanju Samson. Both of them are in good form and are capable of playing both pace and spin well.

One of the biggest talking points of late is the impact player rule. The rule, for one, has allowed for teams to be more aggressive with the bat and leaving too little for bowlers.
