#3. The pace trio:

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup - India v Papua New Guinea
Kamlesh Nagarkoti picked up 9 wickets in the tournament

Very rarely has any Indian team seen three pacers picking up most of the wickets of the opponents. Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi and Ishan Porel were indeed a nightmare for all India's opposing teams this World Cup.

Nagarkoti and Mavi were the pick of the Indian bowlers, with both picking up 9 wickets in the tournament Ishan Porel too impressed in the 3 matches he played in the tournament and his spell of 4- 17 against Pakistan in the semi finals led India to a famous victory against the arch rivals.

The trio have ensured that the future of Indian pace bowling is in safe hands and will look to bowl out top quality batmen at the international level too.
