#2 Khomsan Thongkam (Thailand)
Leading his team at the World Cup, the man from the land of Siam has amassed a total of 53 raid points at the group stage, with the majority of efforts being directed towards qualifying for the semi-finals and setting up a date with India.
For an army man who has learned the sport by just watching it on television, the strike rate of 8.6 successful raids per match speaks volumes about the skills of this player. An ideal skipper, the only employed individual in a team comprising of high-school and university students, Khomsan has led the side quite responsibly contributing majorly to the team’s progress.
He has three Super 10s to his name already, with two of his best innings coming against the USA and Kenya where he scored 14 points in both the encounters. However, his best match can be rated as the one against Japan where he rallied his team at a time when they were trailing for a major part of the fixture by scoring 10 points and helped his team cross the line to the semi-finals.
