The Indian cricket team registered a 47-run win over Afghanistan in their first Super 8 clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The Men in Blue are currently unbeaten in the tournament and would like to extend their momentum. The 2007 T20 World Champions are being led by Rohit Sharma, and they are aiming to end their decade-long ICC trophy drought by lifting the coveted title at the end of the ICC event.
In the current season thus far, India truly performed like a team but there are a few players who displayed world-class play making it easier for the side to take down their counterparts one after the other.
India’s best performers in T20 World Cup 2024 group stage
In this article, we will have a look at the top performers for Team India in the T20 World Cup 2024 group stage.
Jasprit Bumrah
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah came up with a noteworthy performance in every game in the current tournament. Bumrah’s brilliance has been on full display as he took the conditions out of the equation and displayed his game awareness. So far, Bumrah has bowled 15 overs in the T20 World Cup while conceding just four boundaries and taking eight wickets with an economy of 3.46.
Suryakumar Yadav
Indian veteran batter Suryakumar Yadav piled up some of the most crucial runs and stood by the side when names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma failed to perform. The batter who has always found himself on fans’ and experts’ radars showed why he is regarded as the best T20I batter. After failing to register runs in the first two group stage matches, Yadav came up with a significant half-century against the powerful USA. Yadav’s 50* off 49 helped the side to win the game and advance to the next stage seamlessly.
Hardik Pandya
India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya who was at the receiving end of criticism in the last few months made his comeback and delivered some match-winning performances. Pandya picked seven wickets in three group-stage matches while conceding 65 runs. With the bat, he came up with seven runs in the game against Pakistan.
Rishabh Pant
Young and dynamic wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant returned to national duty after a year of injury lay-off. Pant survived a life-threatening accident and with his resilience, he got back to the national team and displayed remarkable performances. Apart from saving runs and being a reliable wicketkeeper, the batter scored 96 runs in three group-stage fixtures.
