Sachin Tendulkar’s Playing XI: Check the names of players from ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021

Sachin Tendulkar’s Playing XI: This is not the first time that Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has released a list of his best playing XI. This time he picked his best playing XI from the recently concluded ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021. 

While Sachin picked some of the big names in the Cricket world, he didn't include any of the Indian players in his playing XI. This is because the former cricketer choose the players from the teams that made it to the sem-finals and India exited from the T20 World Cup 2021 post the league stage.
