#5 Sushma Verma
Sushma Verma came into the tournament as a wicket-keeper, who bats at number 10 and averages just over two with a strike-rate of 23. As the tournament progressed, Sushma proved herself as a capable bat and earned a promotion in the batting order on several occasions.
She might have scored just 51 runs in six innings, but to be fair to her, she hardly got a chance to bat longer. When she got a chance to express herself. Sushma scored a match-winning 33 against arch-rivals Pakistan and took India to a decent total.

She was very instrumental behind the stumps in India's win over England and West Indies in the group stage.
