VIRAT KOHLI

You can describe him as the 'typical- Delhi' boy, you may as well criticise him for being overtly aggressive in press conferences, but one thing that you can't take away from this maestro in the making is his ability to raise the bat under pressure. Kohli not only became the first Indian to score a century against Pakistan in a World Cup, he also became the fastest player to score 22 ODI centuries yesterday. His 107 off 126, guided India's top order right until the end.

DAVID MILLER

At 83 for 4 after 20 overs, in a small Seddon Park, the signs were ominous for South Africa. Would they bow down to their neighbours in a World Cup yet again? Miller didn't think so. Where the top four struggled, he caressed his way to his second century. With the wicket slow and the ball barely coming to the bat in the morning, Miller negotiated that phase well. However, soon after that he broke Zimbabwe's back with nine sixes and seven fours. His career-best score of a 138 came off just 92 deliveries.
