Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been the biggest ‘sensation’ of this tournament. At the age of just 14, he played a devastating inning of 175 runs in 80 balls against England in the final. In this tournament, he hit 30 sixes, out of which 15 came in the final. He is already a part of the IPL and his aggressive batting makes him India’s next big opening option. Vaibhav was also the second highest run scorer in this tournament.

Captain Ayush Mhatre not only impressed with his leadership but also handled the team with both bat and ball in difficult times. He showed his ability by scoring a half-century in just 24 balls against New Zealand. Also scored a brilliant fifty in the final. The experience of domestic cricket (Mumbai) and IPL (CSK) makes him a mature player, who can go ahead and fill the gap in the middle order of Team India.

When India was chasing a huge target of 311 runs against Afghanistan in the semi-finals, Aaron George played a memorable inning of 115 runs to get the team a ticket to the final. Technically very capable Aaron can be a strong contender for ‘number 3’ for the senior team in the future. His shots are reminiscent of any big player.

The command of the Indian bowling attack remained in the hands of Henil Patel. He took wickets with excellent economy throughout the tournament. He showed his edge by taking 5 wickets against America. Henin has the amazing ability to take wickets in swing and powerplay with the new ball. India is always looking for left-arm fast bowlers who can make an impact in the early overs.

Vihaan set a new example of consistency in this World Cup. His unbeaten inning of 109 against Zimbabwe showed his class and composure. He has the excellent art of playing steady in difficult situations and rotating the strike. He is a player who can weave innings, which can prove useful for India in both T20 and ODI formats.
