Ish Sodhi celebrates a wicket vs Bangladesh

Another Kiwi in the list. The New Zealand came with a lot of new faces and hence, it was only natural for people to not expect much from them. Indeed, with McCullum’s retirement, a good showing was just what the fans demanded. And along with Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi played the most important role with the ball.

Only his peer Santner had more wickets in the main stages of the tournament. And like Santner, Sodhi became an unexpected star for his exceptional 3 wickets against his motherland, India. And he didn’t just stop there.

His best match was against Bangladesh where his tricky bowling was unplayable for the batsmen. Picking 3 wickets for just 21 runs, he helped New Zealand bundle Bangladesh out for only 70 runs, in a game where they were defending 146. And it wasn’t just any random wickets as he wiped up the lower-middle order by getting the important wickets of Soumya Sarkar and Mahmudullah—the latter who is known for remarkable finishing abilities
