Ruturaj Gaikwad was in stellar form, having scored 223 runs to finish as the top run-getter of the series 

Ravi Bishnoi might have gone up the pecking order ahead of Chahal, having scalped nine wickets in the T20I series against Australia  

Rinku Singh was excellent with his finishing of games, even handling pressure situations very well   

Arshdeep Singh was efficient in the final over of the fifth T20I against Australia. His ability to strike in the death overs makes him a valuable weapon in India's bowling attack
