The Five Heroes
KL Rahul’s Half Century
KL Rahul is frequently the target of criticism. KL Rahul had only scored 22 runs in his previous three outings, or so many runs. Because of this, there was an attempt to mock him on social media. However, skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid stood by him, and as a result, he today got a half-century.

The fans of KL Rahul were delighted to see him in his best form again.
Man of the Match Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli, a former captain, once again played a fantastic innings. Virat Kohli scored another fifty-seven runs. He only had a low score against South Africa during the T20 World Cup; otherwise, he played large innings and made a significant contribution to the team’s victory.

Fast Bowler Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh, the star young fast bowler for Team India, was crucial to their victory. When play was halted due to rain, the Bangladeshi team failed to claim a single wicket, but when play resumed, Arshdeep Singh made the game’s first breakthrough.
In four overs, he gave up 38 runs while also picking up two wickets. In the final over, skipper Rohit Sharma put his trust in Arshdeep, and he did not let him down by leading the team to victory.
With a brilliant 12th over that only cost two runs and resulted in the dismissals of Afif Hossain and skipper Shakib, Arshdeep helped India win the match.
Hardik Pandya

But he also made two fantastic catches, which shouldn’t be overlooked. Despite the fact that it appeared to be exceedingly difficult, SuryaKumar Yadav performed flawlessly and emerged as a hero in Team India’s victory.
Litton Das threatens India
