#1 Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvneshwar Kumar started the game with a bang and was on top of his game. Despite not getting wickets in the previous game against Hong Kong with the new ball, Kumar today bowled a good line and length and didn't give room to Fakhar Zaman to open up his arms and slash the ball to the boundary.
Trending
He kept on bowling straight stump to stump and reap his reward by getting two wickets in quick succession at the start. His first two wickets included Zaman who had single-handedly won the 2017 Champions Trophy final for Pakistan against India. He ended up with impressive figures of 3/15 in 7 overs at an economy rate of 2.14.
His new ball partnership with Jasprit Bumrah is probably one of the best in the world right now.
