Kevin Pietersen Picks His Favourite T20 World Cup Players
Kevin Pietersen selects three of his nation’s top players for his own T20 World Cup team following England’s thrilling victory over Pakistan in the championship game.
Jos Buttler and Alex Hales were chosen by Pietersen. Together, both openers contributed the crucial runs to England’s scoreboard and helped the team win crucial matches against India, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand. Here’s his playing XI team.
J.S. Buttler (England)
225 runs
Buttler was presented with a significant hurdle after Eoin Morgan announced his retirement from international cricket, but he has been able to prove his leadership skills through his captaincy.
He was England’s top scorer and did a great job of leading his squad throughout the world cup.
Virat Kohli (India)
296 runs
One of the competition’s highlights for Pietersen was when King Kohli maintained his level of performance throughout the World Cup and finished as the player with the most runs in the world cup.
Despite the harsh criticism he had endured over the past few years, Kevin had never lost hope that he’d rise to the top again.
Suryakumar Yadav (India)
239 runs
He currently ranks among the best batters in the world for white-ball cricket because he has got some extraordinary batting skills.
He first dominated the Indian Premier League for a few years before doing the same on the international stage.
Hales, Alex (England)
212 runs
Hales was satisfied with my prediction that he would be England’s game-winner before the competition started.
He delivered three significant knocks during the match’s most crucial periods against New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and India.
Phillips, Glenn (New Zealand)
201 runs
Phillips was New Zealand’s most impressive batter, while the Black Caps competed in yet another successful tournament.
His century versus Sri Lanka was one of the tournament’s most outstanding innings.
Mr. Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe)
Ten wickets were taken, and 219 runs were scored.
It’s been fantastic to see the associate nations perform so well in the Twenty20 format, and Raza’s all-around skills for Zimbabwe are part of what initially caught my eye.
To score 219 runs and take ten wickets while competing against some of the best players in the world is an impressive feat.
Sam Curran (England)
13.0 wickets
Curran has come a long way since we first saw him.
He played for England on a part-time basis to start his career before going on to win Player of the Tournament honors at a World Cup. As they strive to defend their white-ball championships, he will be a crucial element of this team.
Shadab Khan (Pakistan)
Pakistan could not have reached the final without Shadab.
His performance against South Africa helped them move to the final round, and throughout the competition, he showed exceptional consistency with the ball.
Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka)
15 wickets
Leading the wicket charts at both T20 World Cups he participated in is a tremendous feat.
Angus Nortje (South Africa)
11% of the field with 11 wickets
In every game format, Nortje has established himself as one of the top bowlers in the world.
He showed off his ability to take wickets amazingly, and his lightning-quick speed is a powerful weapon.
Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan)
11 wickets
Shaheen’s injury forced him to leave the game early in the final match, although Pakistan still had the hope to win the game with his remaining overs.
He already leads a pace assault that ranks among the finest in the world at the young age of 22.

Instamart and Duolingo launch street spell check campaign for Instaprint
Duo the owl fixes signboard typos across cities to showcase instant printing.
MUMBAI: If spelling mistakes had a sworn enemy, it might just be a bright green owl with a printer. Instamart has teamed up with language learning platform Duolingo for a quirky nationwide campaign that turns everyday spelling errors into a public spectacle while promoting its instant printing service, InstaPrint. The playful activation takes aim at the many misspelled shop boards and public signs scattered across Indian streets. From “saloons” that promise haircuts rather than drinks to menus and posters peppered with punctuation mishaps, the campaign sends Duolingo’s mascot Duo on a mission to restore linguistic order.
Armed with Instamart’s instant printing feature, Duo prints corrected versions of the mistakes on the spot and pastes them over the originals. The result is a series of humorous street interventions that have quickly begun circulating on social media.
Photos and videos of the grammar correcting owl have been widely shared online, with amused users reacting to the unexpected spell check patrol. One user joked, “Ab ayega na maza bhidu,” capturing the internet’s delight at the unusual campaign.
Behind the humour lies a practical message. The activation is designed to showcase the capabilities of Instaprint, Instamart’s printing service that allows users to print documents and posters almost instantly.
The company says the feature is meant for everyday needs such as printing resumes, visa documents or last minute posters without the usual scramble to locate a print shop.
Instamart introduced Instaprint in 2025 across select metropolitan cities including Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi. The service allows users to order printed materials directly through the platform, extending the quick commerce model beyond groceries and household essentials.
By combining Duolingo’s famously persistent owl with India’s street level spelling quirks, the campaign taps into the internet’s long running fascination with grammar mistakes while demonstrating a real world use case for instant printing.
After all, in a world full of typos, sometimes what you really need is a quick printer and a very determined language teacher.
