Rachin Ravindra: This New Zealand all-rounder can be called the ‘discovery of the tournament’.

De Kock scored 594 runs in 10 matches with the help of four centuries at an average of 59.40 and became the highest run-scorer for South Africa in a World Cup. De Kock took South Africa to the semi-finals with his aggressive batting. His innings of 174 runs against Bangladesh in Mumbai is the second best individual score by a South African batsman in the World Cup.

Adam Jampa: Zampa is not the biggest name in Australia’s star-studded team but he was the team’s most effective bowler in the World Cup. This leg spinner was the second most successful bowler of the tournament after Shami with 23 wickets in 11 matches. Jampa took four wickets each for eight runs against Netherlands, 53 runs against Pakistan and four wickets for 47 runs against Sri Lanka. He also took three wickets for 21 runs against England.
