The team received several blows from the injuries of their crucial players but still managed to play their best cricket on the field. Let’s have a look at their key players.

Rohit Sharma- Indian batting line-up has been in a tremendous form throughout the tournament and it is the Indian opener, Rohit Sharma who leads the team’s batting and provides the team a steady and stable start. In just three games, Rohit has registered two centuries and one half century. Against the arch-rivals Pakistan, Rohit with his spectacular innings of 140 runs in only 113 deliveries managed to register 89 runs victory against them in Manchester. The Indian batting line-up is filled with the exceptional talent of Rohit, KL Rahul and Indian skipper Virat Kohli along with the power-hitters which includes the likes of Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni.  

Jasprit Bumrah- Though he was unable to claim a wicket in the match against the Men in Green, Jasprit Bumrah is still the most reliable bowler in the team. He possesses the ability to take crucial wickets and maintain the economy. Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are the pillars of Indian bowling and the team always looks for their contribution in the game. Bumrah claimed three wickets against the Aussies with an exceptional economy of only 5.00.
