Rana’s raw pace and impact stood out throughout the competition. Even after leaving mid-season for international duty, he returned for the final and made an immediate difference, striking twice with high-speed deliveries that troubled top batters.
His ability to deliver under pressure and generate extreme pace made him one of the most talked-about bowlers of the tournament.
The Wisden XI is led by Babar Azam, who topped the run charts, while Kusal Mendis, Sahibzada Farhan, Shan Masood and Usman Khan form a strong batting core.
The all-round department is handled by Shadab Khan and Aaron Hardie, while the bowling unit also features Sufiyan Muqeem, Mohammad Ali and Hunain Shah alongside Rana.
