India have had a wonderful run in the Champions Trophy. They started off by beating Pakistan in the first group game. But in the next game, India were stunned by Sri Lanka. In the virtual quarter-final Kohli and his men came roaring out of the blocks. They first bowled out South Africa cheaply for 191 and then chased the total down the target with 8 wickets in hand. In the semis, they met neighbors Bangladesh and once again Kohli’s men were at their clinical best. Pakistan have also had a fantastic run in the tournament after the loss to India in the group stage, and Sunday’s final will be a mouth-watering clash for fans.
· Best economical pick – With already 10 wickets to his credit in the ongoing Champions Trophy, Pakistan’s young fast bowling sensation Hassan Ali has become the leading contender of the best bowler of the tournament. Hassan got the bowling figures of three for 35 in his quota of ten overs in the semifinal against England.
· Top captains & vice captains – Indian Skipper Virat Kohli scored another match winning knock while chasing in ODIs. His work wasn’t too challenging but he went about his business very professionally by scoring a fluent 96*. Virat Kohli has scored 253 runs with an astonishing average of 253 in 4 innings of this Champions Trophy So far. Kohli has already two fifty-plus scores in the mega event but this knock was his most fluent and was very attractive as well. The leading run scorer of this Champions ttrophy Shikhar Dhawan failed to score a fifty for the first time in this tournament. He has scored 317 runs in 4 matches with 2 fifties and 1 hundred with an average of 79.25 and a strike rate of 102.25 in this Champions Trophy So far.
· Smart pick – The second most run getter of this Champions Trophy with 304 runs at an average of 101.33 in just 4 innings Rohit Sharma smashed his 11th ODI century in the semifinal match against Bangladesh. Rohit’s knock set the tone for the chase and he remained unbeaten on 123 when the last runs were knocked off.
· Cautious Pick – Hardik Pandya went for 34 runs off his 4 overs in the semifinal against Bangladesh. Pandya needs to improve his bowling as he has a tendency of leaking runs at crucial junctures of the game.
