The Super 12 stage of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup 2022</a> kick-started on October 22. Teams have given their all in the global event thus far courtesy of which fans have been fortunate enough to witness some cliffhangers.&nbsp;

While the best of the players have taken the stage and displayed their might in the T20 carnival, there have been a few top performers of the shortest format who have not yet got a single game. Let us look at the benched players who deserved to get a chance at the grandest stage of them all.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/we-did-not-have-the-game-to-get-to-300-reeza-hendricks-praises-indian-bowlers-for-impressive-performance-in-second-odi/?s=oman%20d10&amp;amp=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reeza Hendricks</a> has been a run-bank for South Africa in the limited-overs circuit. Talking about the shortest format, he has amassed 1372 runs in 48 matches at a strike rate of 125.41. The 33-year-old provides solidity at the top of the order and has shown his mettle in the international arena time and time again.

The veteran batter has been quite prolific this year and has aggregated 323 runs in eight games at a superb strike rate of 139.82. Moreover, Hendricks was Player of the Series in South Africa's T20I assignments against England and Ireland that took place a couple of months ago. Despite being in good nick, he has not been able to make it to the playing XI at the ongoing T20 marquee tournament.

The Kimberley-born has been contesting for an opening slot with Temba Bavuma. Though the South African skipper has failed to cross to reach a double-digit score since he made a comeback from injury, Bavuma is an astute tactician of the game and the team management has not been inclined towards dropping their skipper at the T20 extravaganza. Thus, Hendricks could not do much but warm the bench.

Michael Bracewell has set the international stage on fire since he made his T20I debut earlier this year. The 31-year-old has featured in 13 games for New Zealand in the shortest format and taken 17 wickets at a stellar economy of 5.24. He has also smashed 90 runs at a sensational strike rate of 183.67.

New Zealand picked the ace all-rounder for the T20 World Cup 2022 to provide depth to the side. In the Tri-series against Pakistan and Bangladesh, Bracewell got five chances and he made the most of them picking eight wickets at an impeccable economy of 4.94.

Bracewell’s inclusion in the playing XI stretches the batting lineup to number eight and it would be a good choice to go with him. However, the team management did not go with the all-rounder in the inaugural match of the global event against Australia and selected Mitchell Santner and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ish-sodhi-reveals-the-reason-behind-choosing-silence-after-his-maiden-ipl-wicket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ish Sodhi</a> ahead of him.

Heinrich Klaasen has been a proven performer in the shortest format of the game. The 31-year-old has the ability to take the bowling attack to the cleaners and has played a couple of match-winning knocks for South Africa. He has featured in 36 T20Is and scored 651 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 147.61.

The wicketkeeper batter has been in a rich vein of form heading into the ongoing T20 World Cup. Klaasen smashed 118 runs in five matches in the Caribbean Premier League 2022 at a strike rate of 137.20. Then he showed batting might in the recently concluded ODI series against India where he scored 138 runs in three games.

However, the veteran batter has fallen behind the pecking order in the T20Is as the team management has backed <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-facts/who-is-tristan-stubbs-the-young-dasher-who-garnered-the-highest-bid-in-sa20-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tristan Stubbs</a> for the middle-order slot at the global tournament so far. Klassen brings in a wealth of experience but he has failed to break into the playing XI yet.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/t20-world-cup-2022-aaron-finch-explains-reason-behind-replacing-injured-josh-inglis-with-cameron-green/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cameron Green</a> has taken the international circuit by storm with his remarkable performances with both bat and ball. The ace all-rounder has featured in 11 ODIs this calendar year and has scored 249 runs at an exceptional strike rate of 93.60 and has bagged 11 scalps at an economy of 4.84.

Coming to the shortest format, Green has simply been stunning and played some breathtaking knocks for his side. He has featured in seven T20Is and has hit 136 runs at an exceptional strike rate of 174.35. Besides his batting might, the flamboyant cricketer has picked up five wickets in those outings.

Courtesy of the incredible performances, Green has broken into Australia’s T20 World Cup squad as an injury replacement for Josh Inglis. However, he is yet to get a game at the marquee event. The youngster has scored the bulk of his runs in the T20Is at the opening slot but with the veteran duo of David Warner and skipper Aaron Finch in the mix, it has been tough for the all-rounder to find a place.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/yuzvendra-chahal-has-found-a-method-to-rebuild-himself-brad-hogg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yuzvendra Chahal</a> is one of India’s leading spinners in white-ball cricket. In T20Is, he has played 69 games and bagged 85 wickets at an economy of 8.12. The 32-year-old has been entrusted to provide breakthroughs in the middle-overs and has done it with perfection.&nbsp;

Chahal is a genuine wicket-taker and has been a vital cog in India’s T20 setup. He is one of those spinners who doesn't mind luring the batsmen with the flight and several of his wickets have come with the batsmen attempting to clear the ropes. Thus, Chahal’s aggressive style of bowling would have been aided by the big grounds of Australia. However, he not got a single match at the T20 carnival yet.

Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. have been inclined towards increasing their batting depth and hence, have gone with spin-bowling all-rounders Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin in the starting XI.&nbsp;
