For instance, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-mahmudullah-blitz-stuns-sri-lanka-takes-bangladesh-to-the-finals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mahmudullah played a whirlwind knock in the last league game</strong></a>, and Rohit Sharma stunned the Bangladeshis with a classy 89.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2018/03/Rohit-Sharma-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-230806" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-4.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma India" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-230806" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma.

Team India skipper Rohit Sharma struck some serious form in the team&#8217;s last league game against Bangladesh. He hit a crucial 89 to help the side post a decent total on the board. The vitality of the knock is beyond the levels of basic understanding. The team desperately needed him to score. And it would be safe to state that he has picked up at the right moment.

With the finals coming up, one could expect the vintage Rohit Sharma coming back to form and slaughtering the opposition bowlers. He would be expected to play a key role in the game. Also, his bowling changes have been a key talking point in the series. It will be interesting to see how he uses his resources in the finals.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2018/03/Tamim-Iqbal-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-231447" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Tamim-Iqbal-1.jpg" alt="Tamim Iqbal" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-231447" class="wp-caption-text">Tamim Iqbal. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

Veteran Bangladeshi batsman Tamim Iqbal was expected to call the shots for his side in the ongoing Nidahas Trophy. Being the most experienced batsman in his side, Tamim also hoped to anchor the team in the series. However, he failed to do so in the first few games.

However, as the series progressed, his performances have been improving significantly. After a decent start against India, Tamim looked in fine touch in the last league game against Sri Lanka. His fifty against the hosts proved to be a very crucial knock in the run chase of the must win game for his side. With the finals coming up, expect the big player to rise to the occasion.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2018/03/Suresh-Raina-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-230805" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Suresh-Raina-2.jpg" alt="Suresh Raina" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-230805" class="wp-caption-text">Suresh Raina. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

Veteran Indian batsman Suresh Raina had arrived in the series riding on a big reputation. Also, he was expected to shoulder the bulk of the responsibility in the middle order with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitterati-go-harsh-paul-harris-clown-remark-virat-kohli/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Virat Kohli</strong></a> and MS Dhoni rested. Raina failed to get going in the first three games of the series.

However, in the last league game of the team, he showed some serious class with a quick 47 to his name in just 30 deliveries on a tricky surface. Certainly, Raina would hope to improve on that even more and get a big score in the finals. He needs to put up a good show in order to retain his place in the side. 

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2018/03/Mahmudullah.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-231449" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mahmudullah.jpg" alt="Mahmudullah Bangladesh" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-231449" class="wp-caption-text">Mahmudullah. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

Bangladeshi skipper Mahmudullah was under some pressure to perform when he walked in to bat in the last league game against Sri Lanka. The wickets at the other end were perishing with some serious rate. The team needed an absolute brilliance to take them through. And the skipper provided the ideal blitz with a whirlwind unbeaten 43.

He used all his experience to great use in the match. With form being in his corner now, the Bangladeshi skipper has become a big weapon for his side. Moreover, he can use himself as a handy bowler in the finals. The Indians would not really expect him to bowl and hence, he could spring up a surprise with that move.

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2018/03/Washington-Sundar.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-230799" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Washington-Sundar.jpg" alt="Washington Sundar" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-230799" class="wp-caption-text">Washington Sundar.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/nidahas-trophy-2018-washington-sundar-delighted-over-responsibility-in-power-plays/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Washington Sundar</strong></a> has arguably been the biggest positive for the Indian team in the series thus far. Sundar has been bowling in the powerplays with utmost perfection. Not only has he managed to contain the run flow but also he has taken crucial wickets. In the games played against Bangladesh, he has managed to trouble the openers big time.

In the previous game he played against the same opposition, he had bagged a three wicket haul. Furthermore, his economy rate has always been good. It is worth noting that he is an equally capable batsman as well. Hence, if need be, he can be promoted up the order to bat. Well, one would not be surprised if he excels in that department too.
