Haris Rauf 3/10
Haris Rauf - 3. Expensive outing for the right arm quick. In the absence of Naseem Shah, a lot of burden rests on his shoulders. But he has been a disappointment. Neither control, nor wickets. AP
Rohit Sharma 10/10
India ratings: Rohit Sharma - 10/10. A perfect day in the office for the captain. Made the right bowling changes to maintain pressure, did not let the game drift in the middle overs when Pakistan wereShow more
Shubman Gill 5.5/10
Shubman Gill - 5.5. Was reliable in the field and looked sublime for the limited period he batted. His energy levels were up even though he had just recovered from dengue. Excellent demeanour on his cShow more
Virat Kohli 5.5/10
Virat Kohli - 5.5. Must be disappointed at getting out when another big innings was there for the taking. It was a nothing shot against a non-threatening short ball from Hasan Ali. Reuters
Shreyas Iyer 8/10
Shreyas Iyer - 8. The innings will give him a lot of confidence, guiding the team past the finish line with an unbeaten fifty. Did look ungainly against short balls, but avoided getting out to it. EveShow more
KL Rahul 7/10
KL Rahul - 7. Clinical behind the stumps, took a fine catch off Pandya and remained unbeaten in the chase. Looks unperturbed in any situation, which has its own value. AFP
Hardik Pandya 8.5/10
Hardik Pandya - 8.5. Got opener Imam out with an effort ball outside off. He has been bending his back this World Cup and can be classified as India’s second best quick behind Jasprit Bumrah. ArguablyShow more
Ravindra Jadeja 8/10
Ravindra Jadeja - 8/10. The left-arm spinner has been a rockstar on dry pitches that have offered grip and quick turn. Kept the runs down and took two late wickets. Captain Sharma can now depend on hiShow more
Shardul Thakur 3/10
Shardul Thakur - 3. Not a lot to do. Bowled two overs and watched the game with the best view in the stadium. EPA
Kuldeep Yadav 8.5/10
Kuldeep Yadav - 8.5. Ended the contest with two wickets in one over – trapped Saud Shakeel lbw with a slider and bowled Iftikhar Ahmed with a googly. Provides India invaluable wicket-taking options inShow more
Jasprit Bumrah 10/10
Jasprit Bumrah - 10. Was world-class on the flat deck in Delhi. Was equally sensational on an unresponsive pitch in Ahmedabad. Deceived a well set Rizwan with a slower one and bowled Shadab with a claShow more
Mohammad Siraj 7.5/10
Mohammad Siraj - 7.5. Expensive outing for Siraj. But he did get the first wicket and also bowled the ball of the match – breaching the late cut of Babar Azam with an in cutter. Captain will be happy Show more
Abdullah Shafique 5/10
Pakistan ratings: Abdullah Shafique - 5. Looked decent up front. Fell lbw to an effort ball from Siraj. Pakistan will take that, since he looks calm when at the crease. AFP
Imam-ul-Haq 5/10
Imam-ul-Haq - 5. The left-hander looked like he intended to dominate the bowling. But after negotiating the opening quicks, edged Pandya behind. Could have done so much more after all the hard work. RShow more
Babar Azam 7/10
Babar Azam - 7. The captain soaked up all the pressure from a partisan crowd. A hundred was there for the taking, but decided to late cut a Siraj in cutter. Pakistan lost the plot from there. EPA
Mohammad Rizwan 7/10
Mohammad Rizwan - 7. Another enterprising innings from the wicketkeeper. Would definitely have kicked on, had batsmen from the other end not collapsed in a heap. Was deceived by a masterful slower oneShow more
Saud Shakeel 3/10
Saud Shakeel - 3. Made the cardinal sin of playing Kuldeep off the back foot and deep in the crease. Did not look comfortable at all. AFP
Iftikhar Ahmed 3/10
Iftikhar Ahmed - 3. Should have played Kuldeep out as he had just picked up a wicket. Played on against a googly that took his glove. AFP
Shadab Khan 2/10
Shadab Khan - 2. Ineffective with the bat and totally off colour with the ball. Does not seem to be putting his full body behind the ball, which makes his leg spin cannon fodder for batsmen. AP
Mohammad Nawaz 6/10
Mohammad Nawaz - 6. Tried his best and batsmen did treat him with some respect. Should do well whenever Pakistan bowl first. Getty
Hasan Ali 6/10
Hasan Ali - 6. An honest effort with the ball, got Kohli’s wicket off a short ball, which takes some doing. Gave less than six runs an over, when India chased down 191 inside 31 overs. AP
Shaheen Afridi 6/10
Shaheen Afridi - 6. Got both openers and bent his back, as much as he could. Looks well short of his best, with his pace down as well. Not good signs as Haris Rauf is leaking runs. AFPHaris Rauf 3/10
