6) Rishabh Pant
The maverick keeper-batsman had a decent outing in the WTC Final. In the first innings, he was dismissed for 4 trying to chase a wide going-away delivery from Jamieson. Prior to that, however, he had shown great patience and had managed to curb his natural instincts before they took over.
He came out in the second innings with a similar approach but survived a bit longer due to a dropped catch by Tim Southee in the slips. If he could have stayed at the crease for the entire second session, India would have been able to salvage a draw. Unfortunately, he was dismissed trying to go for a wild slog while on 41, which was the final nail in the coffin for India.
