The team’s success owes much to stellar performances across the board. Virat Kohli has been a standout with the bat, with an impressive 711 runs, including three centuries and five fifties.
Rohit Sharma’s aggressive batting in the powerplay overs in the starting 10 overs has set the tone, propelling India’s charge in the initial overs. Young cricketer Shubham Gill has also been a force to reckon with his bat. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have also contributed with crucial innings in the middle order.
The bowling attack has been equally formidable. Mohammed Shami’s fiery spells have yielded an impressive 23 wickets in just six matches, while Jasprit Bumrah has been a force to reckon with, claiming 18 wickets. Jadeja and Kuldeep have added significant value to the team’s bowling prowess.
As the team gears up for the final showdown at the Narendra Modi Stadium on November 16, the anticipation to end their ICC trophy drought looms large. Meanwhile, Australia has entered the finals too defeating South Africa in the semi-finals.
