Upbeat India winning it on the field too

On the field, there no one like Ravindra Jadeja. Virat Kohli also demands your attention.

Every time they enter the ground, you can bank on these two to put on a show.

But there are quite a few names in this Indian team who don't have the quite the same level of athleticism for example, Kuldeep Yadav and Shardul Thakur, and there were doubts whether Rohit Sharma will be able to match the show he put on in the last World Cup, and KL Rahul hasn't always been a keeper.

However, to the delight of their fans, the Indian players have impressed with their intensity on the field. Not the most agile group but they have displayed a safe pair of hands to be the best catching team in the tournament with a catch success per centage of 90.4 after the first four games of the tournament.

The match against Bangladesh, on Thursday, saw them put up another inspired effort in the field. Jadeja's catch stole the show but Rahul's performance behind the stumps was superb too.

There's no denying how the effort in the field has made the bowling look even more incisive, especially in the middle overs. After an opening partnership of 110/2 in 20 overs, Bangladesh had the platform to rock the India bowling unit. In search of a breakthrough, captain Rohit Sharma went to his pacer Mohammed Siraj for the 25th over. Siraj's first ball was straying going down the leg side and Mehidy got a tickle but wicket-keeper Rahul flew to his left and snapped up a one-handed catch. At the start of the slog overs, experienced player Mushfiqur Rahim was well set batting on 38 when he cut a Jasprit Bumrah delivery but Jadeja flew to his right and took a blinder while almost parallel to the ground.

Not just the smart catching, the crowd at the Maharashtra Cricket Stadium in Pune, were treated to superb ground fielding as well.
