  1. Virat Kohli

The former skipper of India looked in good touch in the game against Pakistan. Coming after a break, he scored an elegant 35 off 34 balls on a wicket that was assisting pacers. Even though these are not enough runs thanks to his high standards, they will do the job of boosting his confidence for the upcoming games.

In the game against Hong Kong, he would have the opportunity to score a big fifty at least. After all, these bowlers won't be of the same quality as Pakistan. This gives Kohli the best opportunity that he is still not done in international cricket.

The vice-captain of the team had a horrific start to the tournament with the bat. In the game against the Babar Azam-led side, he chopped the ball onto the stumps on the very first delivery he faced. The right-hander made his comeback in the preceding series against Zimbabwe.

In the upcoming game against the Nizakat Khan-led side, the Bangalore player would be looking to get enough runs to boost his confidence. Not to forget, he is coming off an injury and is in need of runs going into the latter half of the tournament.

3. Suryakumar Yadav

The Mumbaikar is one of the in-form players in the team. Last month, he scored his first international hundred in a T20I game against England. Seeing his red-hot form, the management decided to promote him up the order and made him open the innings against West Indies.

Now, with KL Rahul back, he has been demoted in the batting order. However, he could be mighty effective in the middle-order as he was previously. In the game against Hong Kong, he would be waiting to do something big.
