Ishant Sharma
If Rohit Sharma was the find for India with the bat in hand, Ishant Sharma was the find with the ball.
The pacer clocked in great speeds right throughout the duration of the competition and finished as India's highest wicket-taker with the ball, claiming 14 scalps in 9 matches.
However, it can be safely said that his limited-overs career has not taken the upward curve that he would have hoped it would have at that point in his career.
Ishant famously bowled the over that turned the 2013 Champions Trophy final on its head, but his stocks as a limited-overs bowler dipped dramatically post that and he now finds himself only in the Test squad.
Harbhajan Singh
One of the most emotional tours of his career, Harbhajan Singh had a point to prove after he returned from his suspension, post the Monkeygate scandal.
In the 10 matches that he played, the off-spinner took eight wickets, but his most significant contribution came in the finals, when during the middle-overs, he took a couple of crucial scalps to peg the Australians back.
It was a tour that tested his pride to the hilt and he overcame all obstacles to play a key role in India's triumph.
Harbhajan was India's go-to spinner for the next few years, but with the emergence of R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, he was soon pushed behind and eventually lost his place in 2015.
He remains active in domestic and IPL cricket.
S Sreesanth
The maverick pacer played 7 matches during the course of the competition and along with Ishant, was the most impressive Indian bowler on show.
The economy rate may have been slightly on the higher side (5.75), but when Sree landed the ball on the spot, no batsmen found it easy to play him, with the ball deviating both ways.
Perhaps the most dramatic story in the history of Indian cricket, Sreesanth was part of the Indian squad that won the 2011 World Cup, but in 2013, the Kerala cricketer was found to be one of the three players involved in spot-fixing in IPL and was banned from playing the game by the BCCI.
However, despite being cleared of spot-fixing charges, he still finds himself without any team to play for.
