Surya's three half-centuries and 360-degree shots were not only the subject of discussion but also played an important role in India's victory. Team India's fast bowling has been amazing in this World Cup. Along with Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also bowled brilliantly in the tournament. Bhuvi has taken 4 wickets in 5 matches. During this, his economy was less than 6.

 

Kohli's performance against England pacer Mark Wood has been excellent. Talking about the wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant was given a chance in place of Dinesh Karthik in the match against Zimbabwe.
