The magician with the ball.
Anukul Roy was India's highest wicket-taker

The biggest star with the ball for India, Anukul Roy not only ended the tournament as India's highest wicket-taker, but also as the joint highest wicket-taker overall, with 14 wickets in just 6 innings. Even more impressive is his economy rate of 3.84, bowling strike rate of just 14 and a mind-boggling average of 9.07.

His 5-wicket haul against PNG in the group match rattled the opposition out for a total of just 64 runs and his subsequent figures of 4/20 against Zimbabwe ensured that India ended the group stages on top of their group.

In the final, Roy's left arm orthodox gave India the vital wickets of Param Uppal and Jonathan Merlo, which laid the foundation for the historic victory.
