Batting right-handed and bowling right arm fast-medium, Pandya has represented India and Baroda domestic cricket teams respectively; as well as playing for Mumbai Indians IPL team as captain during their 2022 campaign.
He is an exceptional match winner who thrives under pressure, helping India reach the final of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup thanks to his efforts.
Fielding was another strong suit of his, taking four catches and saving runs with agility and sharp reflexes. Among all-rounders in international cricket, Mumbai Indians’ star is one of the premier all-rounders; his complete package makes an impactful statement about Indian cricket’s future.
3. Virat Kohli (wk)
Kohli is widely considered the “King of Chases”. Boasting an exceptional bottom-hand grip and making impressive run chases seem effortless, Kohli combines technical adeptness similar to Tendulkar with physical fitness of some of the greatest athletes on earth.
At his core is an aggressive brand of cricket that relies heavily on his captain allowing him to express himself freely. With Afghan captain Asghar Stanikzai at his back and an easy game plan against him in front of them, Kohli will hope to add to his impressive ODI record against them at Kensington Oval where there is good bounce and carry for stroke play while offering bowlers some assistance as it provides both sides a challenging wicket to play on.
4. Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav has been an outstanding addition to India’s T20I side ever since his first-ball debut against Australia in 2017. His left-arm wrist spin and Chinaman bowling style has brought new depth and variety into India’s white-ball attack.
After making his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians in 2012, he later signed for Kolkata Knight Riders but saw limited action due to team commitments. However, his performance caught national selectors’ eyes when he confounded Sachin Tendulkar with a googly in practice nets and brought national selectors’ notice of him as an effective batsman.
Yadav earned himself his first Test cap under Anil Kumble’s tutelage in 2017, impressing Aussie batsmen while leading wicket-taking on that tour. Unfortunately, however, he was dropped for three ODIs against West Indies mid-2018 but proved this decision wrong by taking three wickets and scoring a hat-trick – first by an Indian in this format since Kapil Dev and Chetan Sharma over 20 years earlier!
5. Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah, India’s fast bowler who represents all forms of cricket including Test cricket. Currently he serves as vice-captain of India Test team while also representing Mumbai Indians in Indian Premier League tournament.
Bumrah is an exceptional bowler. Known for his exceptional pace and bounce, as well as being capable of extracting movement from the pitch, he often proves himself the match-winner for India.
Kensington Oval has proven itself a high-scoring ground, while at times producing low-scoring affairs as well. Therefore, tossing is key when it comes to deciding who will win this match; an advantaged toss could prove fruitful for India but will require smart and strategic play from all of their bowlers in order for them to take full advantage.
6. Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja played a pivotal role in India’s Champions Trophy win in 2013, becoming one of their most valued all-rounders since then. An essential member of their batting line-up and possessing left arm orthodox spin bowling abilities.
Jadeja has shown his ability with both bat and ball in this World Cup, notching several impressive scores. A vital player for India, he will aim to contribute even further in subsequent matches.
Kuldeep Yadav delivers a googly to Nabi, who responds by smashing it over long-off for six runs in this over. India collects nine runs from it.
7. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav is one of the most underrated batsmen in modern cricket, making him a vital component of India’s T20 and ODI squads. Based in Mumbai, this prolific hitter possesses plenty to offer as part of India’s T20 and ODI setup.
The 25-year-old has been in excellent form this season, averaging over 50 in both T20s and ODIs while playing an instrumental role for Mumbai Indians of IPL.
“SKY”, a right-handed batter from India’s cricket squad, made his T20I debut against England on March 14th 2021 and immediately hit a six off his first ball to become an integral member. Additionally, in July 2021 he also made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka proving highly effective at No 3 with multiple shots available to him and having great flexibility when facing different bowlers and styles of play.
8. Rishabh Pant (wk)
Rishabh Pant, India’s dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman in the vein of Adam Gilchrist, has been one of its standout performers ever since debuting. One of his finest moments came at Brisbane at the start of 2022 when he led an underdog Indian third XI side home with an unforgettable innings – scoring an 89 in a crucial fourth innings chase against Australia!
Naveen-ul-Haq bowled full on off stump and Pant made an exceptional drive to hit it over wide mid-off for four runs, only for him to miscue his attempted reverse sweep and be dismissed lbw as a result. Pant left disappointed after two dismissals were confirmed lbw; selectors will hope he finds his form soon in another game.
9. Hardik Pandya (wk)
Hardik Pandya is one of the finest all-rounders in world cricket, excelling as both batsman and bowler with fast medium deliveries. Additionally, he captains Baroda cricket team domestically.
He exudes confidence on and off the field, often taking charge and providing match-winning performances for his team. In short, he is an ideal representation of modern cricketer.
He can strike hard and bowl accurately; run around like a loosewire – all qualities which are an asset to any team.
10. Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah has been an absolute star performer for India in this tournament. Not only is he a smart player but also an effective communicator who understands the game so well he knows when and how best to use his variations.
Kuldeep strikes back with another googly from Nabi for six but Afghanistan cannot capitalize.
Bumrah was given the task of bowling new ball in Siraj’s absence and struck early by claiming Gurbaz’s wicket when his left-hander could not hold onto the catch, giving Bumrah his first wicket of the innings. Later that over he followed it up by dismissing Naveen-ul-Haq; India now lead at Kensington Oval and can win all four matches of their group stage series with a victory – becoming only the third team ever.
