3. Virat Kohli
The Indian stand-in captain can hold his head high with his efforts in this series, irrespective of the result of this match. He turned around the body language of this Indian team after a humiliating loss to Sri Lanka earlier with a magnificent century in the slow and dry conditions of the West Indies.
The ball does not come onto the bat so easily in these conditions, and that means that a settled batsman cannot afford to throw away his wicket. In such a situation, Virat Kohli’s ability to make it a match-winning innings when he gets going become all the more critical. He can enhance his reputation as a leader and as a batsman by starring in this final.
