Even though India were knocked out in the Super 4 stages, Kohli finishing as the tournament’s second highest run scorer and finally ending his 1000 plus day century drought was a big plus for the Indian team ahead of the T20 World Cup next month in Australia. The 34-year-old scored 276 runs in five innings that included the highest T20I score by an Indian.

Hasaranga scored 66 runs with the bat apart from picking nine wickets, three of which he registered in the final against Pakistan, and was crucial to Sri Lanka winning the Asia Cup for a sixth time.

The 25-year-old is now just 100 points behind Australia’s Josh Hazlewood for the top spot in T20I men’s bowling rankings.
