The top order of the Indian cricket team has been in impressive form over the past two matches in this edition of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. Rohit Sharma has been the standout performer, leading the team in scoring. He currently occupies the fourth position on the list of the tournament's top run-scorers, with 217 runs in three matches, and has an opportunity to claim the top spot.

Indian team's bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been in exceptional form, having already claimed 8 wickets in just 3 matches. He currently holds the third position on the list of the tournament's leading wicket-takers and stands a chance to move to the top position if he takes four or more wickets in today's clash.
