Champions Trophy 2017: 5 players you did not know who won the tournament

#1 Mike Rindel in 1998

Mike Rindel

All-rounder Mike Rindel made his international cricket debut in 1994 at the age of 31 and made sporadic appearances for South Africa during the next few years. Shortly before the start of the tournament, Gary Kirsten was injured and Rindel replaced him in the squad.

Rindel began the tournament well by scoring 41 in the quarter-final against England and taking a wicket. He had a disappointing outing in South Africa’s 92-run win over Sri Lanka in the semis as he scored only 8 and went for 13 in his solitary over.

However, Rindel’s best performance of the tournament came in the final against West Indies where he scored a steady 49 from 56 deliveries to give South Africa a good start in their run-chase of 246. The Proteas won the tournament and Rindel ended the tournament with 98 runs at an average of 32.66.
