1) Shubman Gill - Indian team's 'Prince' Shubman Gill played a brilliant innings, with the help of which India won the match easily. Gill played different roles in batting. When Shreyas Iyer was playing an aggressive innings, Gill played the role of anchor. Later Gill changed gears and scored runs quickly. He scored 87 runs in 96 balls with the help of 14 fours and made a century partnership with Axar Patel. Gill was selected Player of the Match for his brilliant innings.

2) Shreyas Iyer - The Indian team had lost two wickets for just 19 runs. Then Shreyas Iyer not only became the savior of the team, but also pushed the British on the backfoot by scoring runs quickly. Iyer completed his half-century in just 30 balls and changed the course of the match. The Mumbai batsman scored 59 runs in 36 balls with the help of 9 fours and two sixes and strengthened India by making a 94-run partnership for the third wicket with Shubman Gill.

3) Axar Patel - Bapu proved to be harmful for England. Axar Patel performed brilliantly with the ball and bat. He took one wicket for 38 runs in 7 overs in bowling. Patel ended Butler's innings. After this, Axar performed brilliantly with the bat and scored 52 runs in 47 balls with the help of 6 fours and a six. Axar Patel's all-round performance proved effective for India.

4) Ravindra Jadeja - The fear of the bowling of Indian team's experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was clearly visible on the English batsmen. Jadeja bowled very economically. He took three wickets for 26 runs in 9 overs including one maiden. Jadeja took the wickets of Joe Root, Jacob Bethell and Adil Rashid. After this, he played a match-winning innings of 12 runs in 10 balls with the help of two fours.

5) Harshit Rana - If there is a debut then it should be like this. Harshit Rana's debut was like a dream come true. The Delhi fast bowler took 3 wickets for 53 runs in 7 overs including one maiden. Rana became the first Indian bowler to take three wickets in debut in all three formats. He took two wickets in the same over, from where the collapse of the English innings started. Dailymintz
