The 18-year-old has to be one of the revelations of the Nidahas tournament, finishing as the joint highest wicket-taker with countryman Yuzvendra Chahal on 8 wickets, but maintaining a better, and the competition's best, economy of 5.7. Sundar truly announced his arrival to the T20 fore, but his performance against Bangladesh on matchday 5 stands out.

The Tamil Nadu all-rounder picked up three scalps on that day, those of the top order of Bangladesh, restricting them to only 35 runs in the powerplay - their lowest in the tournament.

Liton Das was stumped at 7, while Sundar sent Soumya Sarkar back for only a solitary run. Tamim Iqbal withstood his offbreaks for a while, but eventually went down at 27.

These dismissals helped India mount pressure on the Tigers, and despite Mushfiqur's unbeaten knock of 72 that kept them in the race, Sundar's impressive return of three wickets and 22 runs from four overs set the Men in Blue firmly on their way to the victory.
