T20 World Cup 2026: Flop XI of the tournament

The T20 World Cup 2026 ended on March 8, when India and New Zealand clashed in the final of the tournament in Ahmedabad. The event was noteworthy, with some standout performances, while several major names struggled to make an impact.

Despite entering the event with high reputations and expectations, a few players were unable to deliver consistently with the bat and ball. A Flop XI can be established based on competition performances, consisting of players whose appearances fell short of expectations. This team focuses on those who experienced a dismal campaign.

Here is the Flop XI of the T20 World Cup 2026:

The openers for the flop XI will be India’s Abhishek Sharma and Pakistan’s Saim Ayub. Abhishek came into the tournament with a lot of reputation, but illness cost him his rhythm, and he scored three ducks in his first three games. He made a 55 against Zimbabwe but struggled. Saim Ayub scored only 70 runs in five innings, falling for the no-look shot.

Babar Azam scored 91 runs at a modest strike rate of 112.34 in 4 innings for Pakistan, while Jos Buttler’s tournament ended with 87 runs in 8 games. Salman Agha will captain the Flop XI, as he scored 60 runs in 7 games and looked out of touch with the bat.

Australian duo Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis follow next. Maxwell made 62 runs in 4 games with a strike rate of 110.32 and failed to perform. Stoinis, on the other hand, managed 55 runs in 4 games as Australia crashed out in the group stage.

Shaheen Afridi and Kagiso Rabada lead the pace attack. Shaheen Afridi took 8 wickets, but his economy of 10.52 harmed his own team. Rabada failed to make a huge impact, taking 5 wickets in 7 games, with an economy of 8.13.

Keshav Maharaj and Rashid Khan will be the two spinners. Maharaj only managed 5 wickets in 7 games for the Proteas, while Rashid Khan took 6 wickets in 4 games for Afghanistan. His failure was one of the main reasons why Afghanistan failed to qualify for the Super 8s.

Flop XI of the T20 World Cup 2026:

Abhishek Sharma, Saim Ayub, Jos Buttler (WK), Babar Azam, Salman Agha (C), Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj.
