Indian team has been firing in all three departments. It’s a good sign for the team that all three departments are coming up together and helping the team win. Going into IND vs BAN, there will be two key players for India that might play a huge role. 

One is skipper Rohit Sharma and the other is Jasprit Bumrah. Talking about the captain, he has shown signs of golden touch and is India’s leading run-getter in the World Cup. He smashed a ton against Afghanistan and scored 86 runs against Pakistan. He will be vital for India in the next game.

On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah by far has looked like the most settled Indian bowler. Despite the tracks being flat, he has showcased his skills and is the leading wicket-taker for India. All eyes will be on him as he heads into IND vs BAN.
