Top five Indian performers from the tri-series

#1 Manish Pandey

Pandey's efforts might earn him a recall for the Sri Lanka series

Manish Pandey has had a rollercoaster ride for the senior side ever since he made his ODI debut. He has scored a match-winning century against Australia away from home and then poor form led to him being dropped from the Indian ODI squad after the series against New Zealand in 2016.

For the A side, however, he has been in sublime form. In the recently-concluded Tri-series against South Africa and Afghanistan, where he captained the side, Pandey showed just why he is so highly regarded and is still on the fringes of national selection despite some poor form last year.

The 27-year-old finished as the leading run-getter in the series and was the only player to score more than 300 runs in the series. In 5 matches, he finished with 307 runs, scored three fifties and was dismissed just once as he led India A to their fifth consecutive ODI series win.

His impressive form might just prompt the selectors to give him a recall for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka.
