On the all-rounder's part, Australia's Marcus Stoinis, Indian vice-captain Hardik Pandya, and Afghan skipper Rashid Khan also found themselves in Harsha Bhogle's team of the tournament. The trio, according to Bhogle give the side perfect balance required for a team to win big championships.
At last, Kuldeep Yadav is the specialist spinner, followed by a gun pace attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.
