Yuvraj Singh chooses India's top star as leading run-getter in ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024

Former Indian Cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who is also the T20 World Cup's brand ambassador, recently picked his top favourite contenders for the T20 World Cup Final, saying that three teams, except Australia, will have a tough fight for the title. He also named his preferred run-getter in the tournament as he chose Virat Kohli to have a solid campaign, citing that his IPL 2024 season has been nothing less than spectacular.

"I'm hoping India, probably West Indies. Pakistan 3, and no Australians [laughs].

"I am looking forward to the return of Rishabh, he is coming back from a massive injury. And leading run-getter seems like Virat Kohli, he's had a very good IPL," Yuvraj said.
