Champions Trophy 2017: Best XI of the tournament

Kagiso RabadaRecently christened as the world’s leading bowler in ODIs, young Rabada has been leaping his way towards fame with giant strides, ever since his debut in late 2014. The absence of Dale Steyn has had little effect on Rabada, who has shown tremendous spirit to lead the bowling attack, despite still being under 22. Jasprit BumrahTeam India’s find of the year in 2016, Bumrah has evolved from a fidgety pacer trying to find his feet in international cricket to someone who is completely assured of his trade, despite his low experience. He can be banked upon in the final overs to bowl his full pitched deliveries, as well as alter the pace with ease. In 11 ODIs, Bumrah has already picked up 22 wickets, and is a sure selection in the Indian XI. Imran TahirInitially overlooked in the IPL auctions, Tahir squeezed in as a replacement for Pune, and turned out to be a crucial cog in their bowling department. A leg spinner with a big heart, Tahir has a plethora of variations up his sleeve to bamboozle even in conditions that might not be as conducive to spin bowling. As has been the case for the past few seasons, Tahir will spearhead the South African spin attack, and is currently the highest-ranked spinner in the ODI rankings.
