World Cup 2019: Marquee batsman and bowler from the 'Big 5' teams

#1 India

Batsman – Virat Kohli

Kohli is India's best bet, without a doubt

This is a no-brainer. The skipper of the Indian team has been leading from the front for a few years now and he has looked unstoppable with the willow.

His batting has reached new levels and his consistency across all formats of the game is enviable. Kohli has been the backbone of the Indian line-up for quite some time now and it can be said the batting unit relies on him heavily.

Bowler – Bhuvaneshwar Kumar

Kumar is India's most reliable customer with the ball

Bhuvaneshwar, without a doubt, is the best new ball bowler in world cricket right now. The man from Uttar Pradesh has the unique ability to swing the ball in both directions at a consistent pace.

He is one of the best death bowlers going around at the moment and can deliver toe crushing balls consistently and with surgical accuracy.

Kumar is one of India's best fielders and a reliable lower-order batsman. With the conditions suiting his style of play, he can prove to be a tough competition to Ben Stokes for the Player of the Tournament award in the 2019 World Cup.
