These are the 5 players who were the heroes of India's victory against South Africa

5. Hardik Pandya

Even though Hardik Pandya's bat remained silent in this match, he performed brilliantly in bowling. Pandya took 3 wickets for just 20 runs in his three-over spell. The right-handed all-rounder successfully defended 16 runs in the last over and gave only 8 runs.

4. Arshdeep Singh

Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh's performance was excellent throughout the tournament. He troubled the Proteas batsmen even in the final match. He took 2 wickets for 20 runs in his 4 over spell.

3. Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah once again proved why he is one of the most important players of the team. In this match, Bumrah played the most important role in bringing India back into the match. The right-arm bowler took 2 wickets for 18 runs in his 4-over spell.

2. Virat Kohli

If the Indian team was able to put up a challenging score of 176 runs in this match, then Virat Kohli had the most important contribution in it. Along with handling the innings, he also scored runs at a fast pace. Virat scored 76 runs in 59 balls.

1. Suryakumar Yadav

There is an important reason for placing Suryakumar Yadav at number one in this list, because if he had not taken a wonderful catch of David Miller at long-on on the first ball of the 20th over, the result of the match would have gone in favor of the Proteas team. This catch taken by Surya proved to be the biggest turning point of the match.
