Stats updated. And there will few icons beside the players name displaying their form.

 

[themusketeer]

Aman Kumar started both ODI and T20 with a half-century. Good to see him contributing with bat but not able to win it for the team. WI just outplayed us in T20Is.
Looking forward to another series.
