3) Ish Sodhi
Ish Sodhi has had a great group stage, helping New Zealand become the only team to emerge from the prelimnary stages with a perfect record.
Along with his fellow spinner Mitchell Santner and quick bowlers Adam Milne and Mitchell McCleanaghan, Sodhi has helped the Kiwis control the opposition’s batting , giving his team the advantage.
He picked up 8 wickets in the group phase, while giving away only 78 runs, with his best performance coming against India.
The Indians, probably the best players of spin in the world, were left cluelss as they were dismissed for only 79 runs. Santner might have got most of the credit for his 4-wicket spell, but the Indian-born Sodhi was just as good.
