In 13 games this year, he has scored 446 runs at an average of 37.16 and a strike rate of 182.78. He trails Shreyas Iyer, who has scored the most runs for India in T20Is this year, by only 3 runs.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

For his all-around effort against Pakistan in the most recent game, Hardik Pandya was named Player of the Match. He bowled all 4 of his allotted overs in the game and took 3 wickets for 25 runs. He scored 33 runs off 17 pitches, helping India win the match with a six.

Ayush Shukla took 4 wickets at an average of 11.75 in 2 games of the qualifier event. The squad will be aiming for a similar effort from Shukla in this game after he picked up 3 wickets for 30 runs against the UAE in the previous match.
