Let's go for arguably the best player ever to play T20 cricket, Kieron Pollard

Statistics

Overall :- 10000 runs @ 30.86 (1 100, 49 50s, SR 150.57, 652 6s, 647 4s) in 501 matches and 279 wickets @ 24.36 (6 4WI, BBI 4/15, Eco. 8.20)
T20 Blast/Friends Life T20 (And all the other names) :- 588 runs @ 34.58 (2 50s, SR 169.94, Best 89*, 40 6s, 36 4s ) in 28 matches and 41 wickets @ 18.56 (1 4WI, BBI 4/15, Eco. 7.94)

He has played the most T20 games in all of cricket history, he has an amazing strike rate, has amazing game sense and not to forget, his knack of scoring in big matches and performing unbelievably well in pressure situations. Easily my first pick, and has also stolen a sure pick for all the other teams (Especially @qpeedore )!

Yup. We can pick any player we want as long as they played in the specified league[DOUBLEPOST=1592289648][/DOUBLEPOST]@ahmedleo414 Kolpak players qualify as locals for me, right?

Yes to the first question, the second one is a bit tricky, I will have to say, as long as they have not played an international T20 match for their country of origin then they can be used as locals, however if they participated in a T20i match for their country then they will have to be an overseas option

 

[CerealKiller]

With my first pick, i'll go with the best spinner in T20 history, Sunil Narine. He has 379 wickets in 331 innings, at an astonishing economy rate of 6.02. In the last few years, he has developed his batting to become a decent pinch hitter.
He has played 8 matches for the Melbourne Renegades, with unimpressive returns of 52 runs at 10, and 13 wickets at an economy rate of 7.81.

While he did not perform that good for the Renegades, he owes the Renegades for the opportunity to open the batting. They were the first team to try him with opening.

 

[Ohm]

What better an opening pick than Andre Russell? The guy's a monster. Plays in many well reputed T20 leagues around the world. Huge experience on his back, great character on the field, and importantly possesses ability to destroy opponent single-handedly on any given day. I mean, literally what more could you ask for?

About his records:
321 T20 appearances, more than 5000 runs, batting average of 27 with whopping strike rate of 171.29 As well as his bowling stats are also brilliant. 18 balls per wicket, descent average of about 26, almost as many wickets as games he has played. Sounds like a gigantic player profile.

Astonishing statistics that I agree. But I'm afraid he hasn't been in same touch as before ever since he got his bowling action corrected.

But since then, he has found his batting mojo, and that has again made him irreplacable, because of the balance he brings.

Sort of true. That is because there exist a very few all-rounders who possess such characteristics. Another name that I can compare him to is Krunal Pandya. These players sure bring balance to the team. But the harsh truth is that Narine is deteriorated from an invincible bowler to an average contributor or an occasional match winner.

Yes, but he is still among the best T20 players, even after correcting his action, and got the MVP award in the 2018 IPL, which speaks volumes about his bowling talent. That’s without considering his value with the bat.

 

[Aislabie]

AB de Villiers
8,657 runs @ 37.15 (SR: 149.77, best 133*, b/6: 14.5) in 310 matches

I think it's important to assert my IPL advantage here: all the best overseas players have appeared in India. I don't know if AB will keep or not, but his batting will speak for itself.

Virat Kohli
8900 runs in 266 inns @41.20, S/R 134.56, 5 100s, HS 113

AB de Villiers was my first pick, but seeing that he got picked, i have decided to opt for the one Indian rule and who better than Virat Kohli
He will open the batting because of his superior average of 48.73 and S/R of 140 at that spot for RCB

Yeah, I figured this was the trade-off I was making. I would have loved to get Kohli, but I just enjoy watching AB more

My Second pick will be the dashing Shane Watson

Good enough to play as a specialist batsman in most T20 teams, Shane Watson has been a standout performer in T20s.
He played the final of the IPL with a bleedding leg and almost got CSK through. He also bowls and was a gun death over bowler for RCB in 2016.
An aggressive batsman, Shane Watson will be a default pick in most T20 teams. He will be opening for now but might bat at no 3 depending on the rest of the players.
