- Umesh Yadav – 3.5/5:
Umesh’s absence was dearly felt in the Champions Trophy final and this series made it clear that why he is rated so highly in this age. Picking up seven wickets in four innings, the pacer was outstanding in the series as his economy rate too was below the five runs mark. Picking up wickets at all stages of the game, Umesh signified his importance to the team as a match winner.
