Abhishek Sharma (IND): The young opener has been in blazing form, smashing 31 off just 13 balls against Pakistan. His fearless stroke play in the powerplay can set the platform for India’s middle order.
Jatinder Singh (OMA): The captain leads from the front with 450+ T20I runs at an average of 28.5. His ability to anchor the innings while keeping the scoreboard ticking makes him Oman’s batting backbone.
Bowlers to watch
Kuldeep Yadav (IND): The left-arm wrist-spinner continues to be India’s trump card, taking 3/18 at an economy of just 4.5. His variations in the middle overs make him a constant wicket-taking threat.
