Top five Indian performers from the tri-series

#4 Siddarth Kaul

Kaul has gone from strength to strength in 2017

On the back of an impressive IPL campaign with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he showed exceptional control, especially at the death overs, Siddarth Kaul was drafted into the India A side. It was both a reward for the exceptional performances in the IPL and also a sign that he is on the selectors' radars.

He picked up at least a wicket in every match of the Tri-series and finished with eight wickets from four matches - only two bowlers picked up more. In the final against South Africa A, when Manish Pandey won the toss and elected to bowl, it was Kaul who ensured that they got off to the perfect start as he dismissed both openers.

The 27-year-old has been around for a while but this might just be the break he was looking for as he aims to claim his maiden India call-up. While the limited-overs leg of the Sri Lanka tour might be a little early, you can never rule anything out and Kaul is certainly doing everything he can to earn a spot in the side.
