Arshdeep Singh has made the new ball talk picking up 10 wickets so far. He has also done well at the back end of the innings and is the one to watch out for in the knockout game.
Mohammed Shami has done well as the first-change pacer keeping a lid on the opposition batters. If India bowl under lights, Shami will play a huge role.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has bowled 65 dots so far in this tournament in 16.4 overs he has bowled. Clearly, the onus will be on him to deliver with the new ball.
Ravichandran Ashwin has been criticised for being too defensive so far in the tournament. Having said that, he has picked six wickets including a three-wicket haul in the previous game against Zimbabwe.
Also, Axar Patel has not had many opportunities to prove their worth in the event, but he can set the stage on fire in the semi-finals.

Hardik Pandya has not had many opportunities to prove their worth in the event, but he can set the stage on fire in the semi-finals.
As for Suryakumar Yadav, he has done everything right in the World Cup. He has impressed everyone with his innovative gameplay.

KL Rahul also has regained his lost form and scored back-to-back fifties in the last two matches.
Captain Rohit Sharma’s form is a bit of a worry for the Indian team. Despite scoring a half-century, he has not looked in the best form throughout the tournament.
